Session Types:
  • Business and Industry Panels: Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work in a specific career field or wanted the opportunity to learn more about what options lie beyond high school? These sessions will give you first-hand accounts from a variety of backgrounds and experience levels. We have invited individuals who live and work right here in Southeast Georgia to come and share with you what they do! We will have presenters from several career fields including manufacturing, healthcare, power & energy, construction, agriculture, engineering, and more! You can learn more about our presenters over at the Profiles page. Each panel will feature 3-4 individuals and will include opportunities for live Q&A. 
  • Post Secondary Presentations and Virtual Tours: Life after high school can be a scary thought, but the good news is that you have lots of options to choose from! From attending a local university or college, joining the military, or participating in a certificate-based program, we will have a variety of sessions to help you make the best decision for you. These will be our most diverse sessions as some of them will be organized into panels, some will offer a virtual tour, and others will give you the opportunity to have a small group conversation specific to admissions and entrance requirements. All sessions will offer an opportunity for live Q&A. 
  • Virtual Tours: These sessions will offer the unique opportunity to get an inside look at a local business. You will get a guided tour around part of their facilities and have the opportunity to participate in live Q&A. 
  • STEM/STEAM Teaching and Learning: *School Faculty/Staff Only* STEM/ STEAM education is an interdisciplinary approach to teaching and learning that helps standards come alive through the exploration of problems and ideas that mirror the regional economy. In this session, Allyson Morgan, STEM/STEAM Specialist at the GaDOE, will share ways educators and leaders can start or grow STEM/STEAM offerings in their school or district that align with the skills and knowledge business and industry have shared in this career fair.
