Professionals Invited
to Participate in Health Science College and Career Fairs at Olympic
(February 3, 2014)
The School of Biotechnology, Health and Public Administration at
Olympic High School will host Health Science College and
Career Fairs this spring. We would like to extend an invitation for
you or a representative of your business or organization to
participate in these events.
The objective of the Health Science College and Career Fairs is to
help our students explore a variety of careers in the healthcare,
health informatics, and other health science fields. We are asking
career professionals to share information about their specific
career and their personal experience in a series of small group
discussions. During the fairs, students will be organized into small
groups. Using a speed dating format, the students will have the
opportunity to meet and interview with several career professionals.
Dates for the Health Science College and Career Fairs:
March 12th (9th grade students)
March 19th (10th grade students)
April 2nd (11th & 12th grade students)
Schedule:
12:00 p.m.-12:30 p.m. Arrival and Set-up
12:30 p.m. - 2:15 p.m. College and Career Fair
Preparation:
We would like you to provide a general career overview (job
description, education requirements, skill requirements, work
conditions, and salary range) and your story (What is your specific
job? Where do you work? What do you see as the positives of the job
and the challenges? What school(s) did you attend? What work
experience is needed to prepare for your job? How did you get
interested in the career? What tips would you suggest for someone
interested in this career?).
You will be seated at a table and will speak informally for 5 to 7
minutes to a small group of students. The student will ask
additional questions. You will meet with 8 to 10 groups of students
for a total of 50 to 60 students during the career fair time.
Visuals, such as materials/equipment that you use in your job, are
helpful. Please do not bring any “give-aways” such as candy, pens,
etc. We ask that you wear your professional attire.
Please contact
Jeanne Smith (Jeanne.smith@cms.k12.nc.us)
if you would like additional information or if you would like to
participate in one, two or all three career fairs. We would
appreciate a response by March 1st.
