Career Day Toolkit

About this Toolkit:   The Career Day Toolkit is designed to help educators plan a successful career day in their school.  This toolkit offers brainstorming ideas, planning tips, and resources to use with students before and after the Career Day.

 

Tips for Using this Toolkit:

  • Prior to Career Day, consider having students interview a parent, mentor, or relative about their careers using Career Interview, Career Role Models, Family Chat, or Interviews. 
  • Have students play on Career Town, Kid’s Search, or Career Search before Career Day, and even as a follow up after Career Day.
  • Invite community members with non-traditional careers to attend your Career Day.  To see some of VIEW’s unusual occupations, click here.
  • Have students complete a scavenger hunt as they attend the Career Day.  This will help students stay engaged!
  • Make Career Day as hands-on as possible.  Encourage presenters to bring visuals and items that can easily be passed around for students to explore.  Allow time at the end of individual presentations for questions (and encourage them!).
