On the Edge of Discovery
Tuesday, October 24th at 8:30 am, presented via Zoom
Speaker: Sarah Kenz
Program Summary:
The definition of exploration, according to the Oxford dictionary, is the action of traveling in or through an unfamiliar area in order to learn about it. As the world of work continues to diversify and the number of career pathways expands, it is imperative that industries provide offerings for career exploration earlier in an individual’s education. This session will explore Titan Machinery’s EDGE program which provides high school juniors/seniors with 12 weeks of career exploration within one of our heavy equipment dealerships. The goal is simple, allow students to see, touch, and inquire about the world around them!
Key Takeaways:
1. Understand the importance of career exploration during the critical years prior to high school graduation
2. Identify how educators and industry can teach employability skills, connect academic interests and classroom learning with potential careers
3. Understand how to bridge educator's knowledge of career options in the skilled trades
4. Inspire excitement around bringing career pathways to students in fun, engaging ways
