Past Career Events
CALLING ALL PARENTS.
We need you to participate in a NEW Career Day being planned for
Thursday April 20th from 2:30-5pm
In the GYM/Cafeteria at IAE
(In-Person).
Help us with our CAREER EXPLORATIONS program at IAE for our students to gain more insight for possible career paths as they plan their future. They had a wonderful seminar with IAE grads recently who also shared their careers and we held a parent panel in Nov as well.
Parents we need YOU to share your experiences with students in every field and any role to share how you got into the field, what you learned and how to advance or what degrees you pursued.
We will have tables set up for each of you and students will go around the room spending about 5-10 minutes interacting with you to understand what your career entails and to share their profile and ask questions.
Easy as that!
Share your background and let us know your availability - fill out our NEW CAREER DAY FORM:

Thank you for joining us in this first in a series of career development programming that we plan for students as a PTIA.
My vision when I started advocating for our PTIA to support this initiative was to harness the tremendous talents of our IA Parent Community and enhance what the school is already doing via the career shadow enrichment to expand programming centered around career preparation.
The speaker panels will cover multiple industries as well as focus areas in future Career Panels, speakers series, career day programs and more. Our objective is to help prepare our students beyond the classroom with the same excellence of the IA academic education as they develop their personal vision for a future career path and success beyond IA. We want them to be prepared to succeed in college and their first job or internship with tools and insight gained from programs in the Career Explorations Initiative. I'm excited to see more and more parents get involved as panelists, speakers and future mentors.
