Must-Knows for Interested Schools

LOOKING FOR IDEAS ON HOW TO IMPLEMENT THIS EVENT AT YOUR SCHOOL? 

The ME Virtual Career Fair Planning Team has worked hard to design an event that schools can interact with in a variety of ways based on their school schedule, dynamics, size of student body, resources, etc. We really want to ensure that ALL Maine students at high schools and CTE centers across the state have the ability to access this event. Because this, school participation and what that looks like is flexible! 

Sometimes having lots of flexibility can be overwhelming. Below are just a few ideas of ways that schools can design their participation in the ME Virtual Career Fair! This is certainly not a comprehensive list and is just meant to serve as examples. If you really want to participate but are struggling to find an appropriate option for your school, please feel free to contact us and we can work together to brainstorm implementation plans.
  • Embedding the event into your classes that week: 
    • For example: Purchasing registrations for each classroom within your building so that students are watching a session or two as a whole classroom group.
      • This could be spread throughout the week (i.e. Monday, block 1, class watches a keynote video - Tuesday, block 2, class watches career session(s) - Wednesday, block 3, class watches career session(s) - Thursday, block 4, class watches career session(s) - Friday, block 5, class utilizes our curriculum resources to follow up and complete career research based on what they've learned throughout the week.
      • This could also happen on one day of the event and take place in all classes that day. 
    • For example: Purchasing registrations for all science classes in your building to watch session(s) about Science & Technology careers. 
    • For example: Purchasing registrations for individual students and asking English teachers to embed a classroom lesson/assignment based on what the students learn to add "teeth" and context to what the students experience at the career session(s) they attend. See our Curriculum Resources page for assignment ideas!
  • Allowing access to individual students based on interest: 
    • ​For example: Surveying students to determine interest and providing interested students with their own registration to be able to attend any and all sessions that interest them that week. 
Event Dates: May 17-21, 2021
