We are very excited on behalf of our eighth-grade students here at Wilson, that you have shown interest or intend to get involved with our annual Career Day event. This year we are partnering with Alvernia University. The Wilson Middle School Career Day is scheduled for Wednesday, January 7th from 10:00 am - 1:20 pm. We ask that you report to the Alvernia Plex by 9 am. The Plex is located at 465 St Bernardine St, Reading, PA 19607 (see map and directions tab above). There will be refreshments provided. The activities will take place between 10:00 AM and1:20 PM on the field at the Plex. A student ambassador or staff member will greet and escort you to your assigned table or location.
Our purpose for putting on this exciting event is to provide each of our students with the opportunity for exposure to a variety of available career choices. The fair-style approach also provides students with the opportunity to interact appropriately, step out of their personal comfort zones and work with members of our community to access information. We would appreciate if you would bring hand-outs, stickers, or other items that would help the students gain awareness of the responsibilities of your job.
Please be prepared to answer questions about where, why, and how you perform your job. We feel confident that our students will enjoy this experience and grow through the interaction with working adults and role models in their community.
