Host a Career Discovery Expo
Build a Dream has connected all of the career elements, creating a pipeline between students and employers.
We want students to #DreamBig so our popular career discovery expos feature professional women discussing their career journeys in exciting careers like skilled trades, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), emergency response, entrepreneurship, and leadership. Education partners break down the options for experiential learning in high school and post-secondary programs, and employers offer insight on what they look for in future hires.
These events are engaging, interactive, and packed with resources to set young women up for success in the workforce.
If you want to attract more young women to your tech classes and improve their knowledge of co-op and youth apprenticeship, contact us today for availability!
