Through the week, employers offered career guidance with tours, workshops, and presentations in classrooms at Arvada High School, Arvada West High School, Standley Lake High School, Pomona High School, and Ralston Valley High School. Career Exploration Week culminated with a “Cookies and Careers” pop-up event on Friday, which gave students the chance to meet industry leaders and sign up for job shadowing, internships, mentoring, and summer jobs. Over 20 employers traveled by school bus to Arvada High School, Pomona High School, and Ralston Valley High School for the pop-up event, engaging with over 450 students and collecting over 100 sign-ups for career opportunities.
Thank you to our Partner in Progress, the City of Arvada, and Opportunity Ally, GEICO Denver-North, for sponsoring Career Exploration Week.
