We recently participated in the Perry High School (Perry, Iowa) career fair on November 4 from 9 a.m. - 1:25 p.m. Go! editorial assistants Katie Greenwood and Stewart McCoy set up an exhibitors booth in the gymnasium. Stewart also gave a 30-minute presentation to about 25 students in a breakout session from 9:55 a.m - 10:25 a.m.
Last Friday, November 13, Editor Rebekah Bovenmyer and Stewart represented Go! at the Iowa Youth Congress career fair and dinner at the Embassy Suites in downtown Des Moines, Iowa. Youth from across the state of Iowa visited with colleges and professional organizations from 4:15 p.m. - 6:15 p.m. We talked with them about the resources Go! offers in terms of transportation careers. We also encouraged them to consider contributing a Teen POV column.
Future career fair events include:
- Perry High School - Nov. 4
- Baxter CSD - May. 4
- Nevada High School - January
- Fort Doge Senior High - February 18
