Outcomes
The goal is to introduce students to the many different careers available to them and give them the opportunity to learn about careers by speaking with those in the field. We are actively seeking someone in the fashion industry to speak with our students about their careers.
We would like to encourage presenters to show examples of some of the tools and/or technologies used in that career field to demonstrate to the students. We hope to make this an interactive, hands-on event for the students.
