Description

As we talk to businesses, regardless of size, the number one concern is workforce development and growing a skilled talent pipeline. This is a GREAT opportunity for your business to help!
 
Cabarrus County Schools, Kannapolis City Schools, the Cabarrus County Education Foundation and the Cabarrus Regional Chamber of Commerce are collaborating to provide a unique and special opportunity to 1,200 high school juniors and seniors of our community by bringing them a comprehensive career awareness and exploration experience at the Cabarrus Arena and Events Center on Tuesday, March 19, 2019 from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m., and we need your help!
 
It is our hope that this career development event will introduce students to a wide range of careers through hands-on activities, work-related simulations, internship/apprenticeship/part-time work recruitment opportunities, preparation for the job market through soft skills coaching, and much more! We invite you to be a part of this collaborative effort to prepare our high school students to be “Career Ready” by doing at least one of the following: 
 

• Introduce students to possible career fields by sharing hands-on experiences about career opportunities at your company's booth
• Recruit for open positions
• Prepare students for the future job market by sponsoring one of the career cafe symposiums
• Help students learn about alternative paths for achieving necessary career education through community schools, trade schools, etc. 
• Share information on internships/apprenticeship programs and part-time employment
