Event description
Step into the professional world for a day in an immersive, hands-on program designed for aspiring young professionals aged 13 to 18! In this dynamic one-day experience, you won’t just be participants – you’ll be colleagues, gaining real-world skills to help you step confidently into the workforce.
Dress in smart casual workplace attire, bring your laptop or iPad, and get ready for a day filled with interactive activities, inspiring guest speakers, and practical skill-building exercises.
From a behind-the-scenes office walkthrough to mock interviews, resume writing, and workplace role-playing, you’ll develop essential communication, self-advocacy, and job application skills. Gain exclusive insights from professionals who are blind or have low vision, and Human Relations (HR) experts who will share tips on becoming a standout candidate.
Discover your unique learning style, refine your professional email and phone etiquette, and engage with an external guest speaker from a major workplace. Even lunchtime is a networking opportunity – bring your own lunch to eat in a shared kitchen alongside real working professionals. The day wraps up with vital skills in orientation and mobility within a new workplace environment, ensuring you leave feeling confident, prepared, and ready to take on the working world!
