Lincoln Middle School Career Fair - January 28-29, 2008

Register your business for the January 2009 Career Fair.

Over 70 businesses and colleges attended our 3rd Annual Career Fair at Lincoln Middle School(LMS) in Clarkston, WA. Each morning on January 28 and 29, over 440 students walked through the gym and selected four businesses/professions to interview. They asked questions about their schooling, classes taken in high school/college, salary ranges, typical day in the life, dress code for work, etc. It was a fabulous experience for our young middle schoolers, half of which will be registering for high school the end of February.

The Clarkston Education Foundation (CEF), WSU Gear Up, and Lincoln Middle School would like to thank the 120+ presenters who shared their personal experiences with the Clarkston students. A wide range of career choices were available to students including: police/sheriff/fire depts., attorney, physician, dentist, personal trainer, lineman, financial advisor, biology, nurse, dept of fish & wildlife, vocational/technical positions, to name a few. We also offered a variety of colleges to interview.

In addition, CEF would like to thank the LMS teachers and staff. Lincoln Middle School staff played a big part in engaging students in pre and post class preparation. Filling out job applications, looking at earning potentials of assorted careers, comparing different occupations, requiring poster projects and reviewing professional dress codes were only a few ideas the teachers incorporated.
