It’s that time again; College and Career Week will be October 20-24, 2014! In order to encourage our students to be FUTURE FOCUSED, we really need everyone to be fully invested. CACO staff is asking all staff to show their support by doing any or all of the following:
- wear college gear (it doesn’t have to be from your own college), such as t-shirts, caps, sweatshirts, sweatpants, pins, etc…
- wear career-related gear, such as a T-shirt from the Carpenters’ Union or one that says, “If you can read this, thank a teacher.”
- talk to your students about your own college experience
- talk to your students about your other career (entrepreneur, tutor, sign language interpreter)
