What+Is+a+Virtual+Career+Fair

=What is the Virtual Career Fair?= The Southeast PA Virtual Career Fair is a way for middle and high school students, parents and educators to learn more about careers and summer job search tips from the comfort of their home, office or school computers. All events and activities will occur online through webinars, live streaming video and pre-recorded sessions.

Some of the topics we'll be covering:


 * High priority occupations in Southeastern PA and what it takes to be prepared for these careers.

How to pay for college.

How work is changing and what education, skills and experiences students will need.

Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math careers.

Applying for a summer job.

Ways to get experience in careers that interest you.

How to research your dream job.

. . . and much more!**

Benefits of the Virtual Career Fair

 * This is your chance to learn about **up and coming careers in Pennsylvania--where will the jobs be and what do you need to do to prepare**? You'll get to interact with real live business people and others who can answer your questions and tell you what it's like in the workplace.
 * Summer is coming and it's time for high school students to start thinking about **summer jobs**. The Virtual Career Fair will include advice, tips and tricks from Human Resources Managers on how to complete an application, what to include on a resume and how to interview so you get the summer job.
 * We said it before--all events occur //**online**//. That means no need to travel. Your own snacks at the computer. You can even participate in your pajamas (assuming you're watching from home, rather than your office or school).
 * All events will be //**recorded**// so you can view them again if you want to. Or if you weren't able to participate on a specific date, you can **view the recording at a later time**.
 * Each event or activity includes **links to additional information and resources**. In many cases we're also including **discussion questions and lesson plans tied to PA's Career, Education and Work standards**.
 * Each event includes the ability for you to **interact with the presenters either through voice, chat or both**. So even though you may be wearing your pajamas when you're participating, you can still get your questions answered.
