The Table Card.
Every employer brings 1 next step with a deadline.
Perkins V
Documents ongoing employer consultation and your work-based learning continuum.
A workshop for career fair and job fair hosts
300 handshakes. 0 hires. Sound familiar?
Your career fair does not fail on fair day. It fails in the 30 days after. Career Fair to Employer Pipeline gives your team 5 tools that turn 1 fair into a 30 day pipeline, so every student leaves with a next step, every employer comes back, and you finish with the evidence your Perkins V report asks for.
A Work-Based Learning STACK Workshop. Built around Perkins V.
Full gym. Great photos. Bags of swag. Then the bell rings.
By Monday the next steps are sitting in backpacks. The employers never hear another word, so next year they do not come back. In May someone asks how the fair went, and all you have is pictures.
And Perkins V still wants to know how many of your concentrators reached real work-based learning, what families and employers said for your needs assessment, and how your special populations did. Your fair touched all of it. You just cannot prove it.
Possession is not goals. A team can own the ball all game and still lose 2 to 0.
The fair ends at 2. The pipeline starts 1 minute later.
Same fair. Now it counts.
The Passport.
Every student leaves with a plan line. No phone needed.
Perkins V
Records career exploration for every student, a required use of Perkins V funds.
