Help inspire the next generation by sharing your career journey with students. As a Career Exploration Panel volunteer, you'll join a group of professionals from a variety of industries to discuss your profession, educational background, career path, and the experiences that have shaped your success.

During the panel, students will learn about different career options, ask questions, and gain valuable insights into the skills, education, and opportunities available in various fields. By sharing your personal experiences—including challenges, successes, and advice—you can help students make informed decisions about their future education and career goals.

No prior speaking experience is required—just a willingness to engage with students and share your unique career journey. Your experience can broaden students' perspectives, spark new interests, and help them envision future possibilities.
