SALUTE TO YOUTH: The Career Connection
7:30am-1:00pm
Thur April 2 | Palmdale, CA
The Antelope Valley Union High School District proudly
invites you/your organization to participate in our 28th Salute to
Youth event at the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds. Over 3,000 high school
and middle school students from the Antelope Valley, including Southern Kern
County, and Mojave area will take part. Take advantage of this
interacting opportunity to network with students and play an active role in
their future. Our goal is to provide students with opportunities to
discover their personal interests, introduce them to career professionals, and
develop skills needed for success. With your help, we will be able to
inspire students to take the necessary courses at an earlier age, graduate on
time, and especially be ready for success.
This event includes a small snack and a boxed sandwich lunch
for exhibitors, a career passport collaborative challenge, and complete student
interaction as they visit exhibitor booths. We encourage you to add
activities with an interactive element for 8th and 9th
grade students who are more visual and experimental learners. We are
looking for displays that are hands-on, educational, and dynamic that will
engage students.
Benefits of Participating:
- Inform students about work-based learning opportunities such as job shadowing or internships
- Help students engage in “non-traditional” classes and careers
- Contribute your specific skills or education
- Provide networking outside the walls of a classroom
- Actively recruit your future workforce and improve the quality of life in the Antelope Valley
- Benefit your community by assisting students to become better informed and prepared
- Work directly with the local school districts to develop future scholars and productive citizens
- Improve the educational experience of our local students
- Enhance your commitment to making our local area an outstanding place to call “home”
Our event has been a great success for over 26 years, so don’t wait
