What is the Career Speaker Series?
The “Career Speaker Series” is designed to connect working professionals with young people embarking upon their career exploration journey.
Each session is dedicated to a select field or industry.
Career Speaker Series Launch
The Career Speaker Series launched on 06/29/23.
We were delighted that Weather Channel meteorologist Alex Wallace was our special guest for our first Career Speaker Series session.
Mr. Wallace discussed his background, education, and what it’s like to be on-air during calm times and turbulent weather events. He will also talked about how the weather forecasting has changed during his career.
Mr. Wallace also briefly discussed the behind-the-scenes components that bring him and his colleagues to your screens.
Meet the Meteorologist is available for viewing on our Education Unpacked YouTube Channel.
What’s Next in the Career Speaker Series?
The Career Speaker Series will be an ongoing program highlighting different industries and professions. Working professionals will share their experiences and insights – the good, the not so good, and what the future might hold.
Speakers from healthcare, advertising, human resources, banking and finance, STEM fields, television production, and more will participate.
Check our events page for announcement.
It isn’t easy to make an informed decision if you don’t have the complete picture of career choices. We know it’s especially important for girls and children of color to be exposed to an array of career options.
We will present as many speakers and professions as possible over the coming months.
