Middle School EdExploreSRQ
Career Explorations
As part of EdExploreSRQ, Career Explorations allow middle school classes to visit businesses and organizations to learn about various career pathways. Students complete hands-on activities and learn from professionals in the field.
College Explorations
Each and every student should be inspired to attend to college—earlier in their K – 12 journeys. When students can visit a college campus and interact with college students, they can visualize their futures as college students. As part of the College Explorations program, middle school students visit local campuses.
Career Chats
Career Chats bring career awareness right into the classroom! Professionals visit middle school classes to share their career journeys and to instill confidence in students as they begin discovering potential career paths.
