Local Businesses: Help Up-And-Coming Talent Soar, Offer a CAREEROCKIT Experience

A new effort to educate, excite and inspire tomorrow’s workforce has officially been launched! Is your business ready to get on board?

CAREEROCKIT (CAREEROCKIT.com) is a weeklong event aimed at offering 10,000 career experiences to area students (middle school through post-secondary) – a way to connect business and the educational community, help up-and-coming talent soar to new heights and rock their careers right here at home.

CAREEROCKIT experiences will be offered April 1 – 8, 2017. We want your business to participate!

Experiences may include: Open houses for students | Job shadowing | Field trips | Demonstrations | Podcasts | Internships | After-school workshops.

“Optimally, these student experiences will provide pathways into careers and allow students to build a portfolio of connections that propel them into further career achievement,” said Sarah Moylan, the Greater Omaha Chamber’s director of talent + workforce. “The more unique to your business and engaging, the better. Students should walk away from the experience with a clear understanding of the employer, types of jobs and skills, and be excited about the opportunities ahead of them right here in our community.”

Visit CAREEROCKIT.com and submit your career experience proposal by March 18, 2017.

CAREEROCKIT is sponsored by Metropolitan Utilities District (MUD), organized by the Greater Omaha Chamber and supported by community partners.
