If you’ve recently been impacted by a lay-off, or if you’re worried that your organization may be considering a reduction in force, you may find yourself suddenly focused on finding ways to preserve your income and find a new career opportunity. Join industry experts who will share their tips and suggestions for what to do if you find yourself effected by a downsizing at your organization.

The decision of what you want to do for the rest of your life is difficult at any age, especially in high school. You really have no idea what is all out there to explore, no one does. We can’t expect the schools to know every possible career for our children. That is why this partnership between the schools, businesses, and government is so important. Businesses need people. We need to be there to inform our future generations what all is out there. To be there to support the schools by giving the students information to make a more educated decision on their future. So many people go off to college not knowing what they want to do or finish college, not using the degree they went for. This program can help with that. It helps give the students more information about the careers they are interested in and ones that may not have known were an option. It provides them the ability to job shadowing, internships, Co-op’s. These experiences are so valuable. It can either solidify what they want to do or show that path is not for them. Both are great outcomes! Whether they need a 2yr, 4yr, a Master’s degree for their career, they learn on the job, or other post-secondary education. All these take time and money, and this program can help them not waste either. Businesses need to support this program, for the future of our children and our businesses.
