Leading a Career Series

What's a Career Series?

Our industry partners with a branded platform can easily amplify their student impact by offering a series of Industry Chats. Leading multiple 20-40 minute virtual sessions with learners locally/across the country scales community engagement and introduces students to a whole range of new ideas, industries, and careers (and can be done from anywhere!).

Below are some mailer examples from previous Career Series:

Air and Space Forces K12 STEM Series

Nevada Career Week

IFT Women and Girls in Science Day

Planning Guides for Branded Platforms

Suggested Series Topics

A series includes 3-10 virtual sessions marketed to educators as a set of learning opportunities around a shared theme. Popular frameworks include:

• Career - Vary sessions across a day (“Career Day”), week, or month and include job shadowing, demonstrations, virtual tours, and more.
• Work-Based Learning - Offer insight into real work via job shadowing, a virtual internship, or sessions that cover different elements of a career field. 
• Cumulative - Take classes on a journey from product design to store shelves, blueprints to a building, or another exploration of how things get made. 
• Workforce Readiness - Support students’ career readiness by focusing on resumes, interviews, salary negotiations, soft skills, and more. 
• Student Challenge - Get creative with a series of sessions that include a lesson, student project, and assessment of students’ work. 

How it Works

• Plan: Work with your Pathful Connect Partner Success Manager to outline next steps.
• Promote: Showcase your series with your network as well via social media, email, etc.
• Join: Attend sessions to see the magic of education/industry connections in action!
• Reflect: After the series is complete, we’ll meet to review how it went.
  
  

Session Formats 

Pro Tips

• Schedule all sessions 6+ weeks in advance to maximize attendance.
• Aim for varied start times and keep sessions to 30 minutes including Q&A.
• Review the scheduling process with your presenters so they can create their sessions.
• Encourage your presenters to complete their profiles with a photo, bio, and skills.
• When possible, vary audience grades (consider elementary!) and session formats.
