Gary- for the last 6 years I have been organizing career exploration visits for local high schools, and last year was asked to begin to do for an 18 college consortium (bayict.org) - they have ongoing tech talks- see upcoming talks here https://bayict.org/bayict-tech-talk and past recordings here https://bayict.org/resources. Brush students are welcome to listen in on these sessions which are M and Tues eve at 9 pm EST
I have a background as a high tech recruiter- and tapped my client and candidate data base to start this effort. We have also initiated a parallel effort thru my Rotary club
In my opinions talks should be prioritized by student interest- hereafter is a survey I've used to assess which talks to do first- we focus on top 6 or so https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScUTLSyGyGVfUMp9muAKsM93McWwiWwxt7P6UUIL7eQFH5E5Q/viewform
I've organized and in some cases (zoom sessions) recorded sessions on mechanical civil electrical and battery engineering, tech sales, computer science careers, cyber security, various business careers, careers within the iintel community climate change, marine biology, and medical; services careers. In addition, I've had folks speak on college counseling and financing and financial literacy (lacking in our schools)
We did this thru the PTA. I believe school parent and student involvement is critical to pulling this off.
If you want to discuss further I am happy to talk- this year we are doing largely onsite sessions - except for bayict- all virtual
I can be reached at 831-325-3529 to discuss or schh030@gmail.com
