As an educator, you are always interested in getting your students involved and engaged in exploring potential career choices. At the Nontraditional Career Resource Center at Rutgers University, we can help you with programs, workshops, resources, research, and more.

There is still time to participate in the final LearnDoEarn Career/Job Shadowing webinar event in recognition of National Disability Employment Awareness Month (please note the change of date). Schools and after school clubs and programs are invited to log-in and give their students the opportunity to interact with Ollie Cantos, Special Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights. Space is extremely limited and available openings will fill fast.

The LearnDoEarn (www.LearnDoEarn.org) Virtual Job Shadowing webinars give students a great opportunity to learn more about various careers that might be of interest to them. Career/Job Shadowing webinars give students an important firsthand look at how their favorite subjects can translate into great careers and how they will use their high school Math, Science and Language Arts every day. Students can also hear about earning potential, education requirements, job accountabilities, and other specifics that could help them make important decisions about their future careers.

And, the best part of it is that our Career/Job Shadowing webinars are FREE to schools, although some long-distance phone charges may apply. To sign up for this 45-minute webinar, call LearnDoEarn at 609-989-8315, or e-mail info@LearnDoEarn.org. Help your students learn how they can get ready for college, work and life with LearnDoEarn.
