• Worksite tours are typically able to accommodate 10-25 students where they are able to learn first-hand the variety of careers available in a community or industry.
• Interactive speakers are designed to help students learn about what it takes to succeed in the workplace from an area professional. The time frame depends on the teacher's needs.

What We Need From You
