Career Quest 2021
Career Quest 2021 will be virtual in the middle schools this year with 4 interactive Virtual Escape rooms, each showcasing one of the career sectors that have been focused on (Advanced Manufacturing, Construction, Information Technology, and Healthcare).
Two lesson plans will be distributed to students two days prior to the event day. One lesson will follow the event, including a post event that summarizes their experience.
Middle schools had options with participating in either an in-class activity or an outdoor hands-on exhibit. Local business partners will either distribute materials to the schools or show up and produce a hands-on exhibit outside depending on who is paired with who (school to business). We have asked all of these exhibits or activities to follow Covid protocols and respect the schools guidelines.
Career Quest: Career Quest is a hands-on career awareness event that introduces 7th graders across Elkhart County to 4 different career sectors. Those 4 being: Advanced Manufacturing, Information Technology, Construction, and Healthcare. Career Quest allows for students to touch, feel, and see some of the jobs that are in the high-demand right in Elkhart County. They can imagine themselves being in these positions and Career Quest allows students to be exposed to so many different career pathways and start thinking about their future.
