Exploring
Co-ed Young Men & Women, Ages 14-20
Exploring is a unique career exploration program for young men and women ages 10 - 20. The program provides students with an opportunity to learn about a wide variety of career fields and network with professionals already working in those fields. You get hands-on experience to determine whether or not a particular career field is right for you. You develop valuable networking contacts with professionals working in your selected career fields, and you get to know other youth with your same interests and aspirations.
Exploring works with thousands of local, regional, and national businesses and organizations to deliver programs representing hundreds of different career fields.
Exploring is the first step in identifying career possibilities while having fun in an exciting and informal environment.
