Career Fair and ​Career Cabs

HEART's annual Career Fair and Career Cabs are a unique approach to career exploration. Student input plays a large role in the content of the Career Fair. Using the Colorado Career Cluster Model, students choose the businesses they are interested in learning more about. Pre-surveys indicate their interests and then businesses willing to participate are identified. Students select 5 businesses they would like to learn more about and a personal schedule is created for each students. Students follow their assigned schedule and spend 20 minute sessions in small groups of 3-4 for one on one conversation with each business.

HEART uses the Colorado Career Cluster Model to set up the Career Fair.

​    The Career Fair is followed later in the year by the Career Cabs, a field trip for Mountain Valley School sophomores. Students visit 7 local businesses throughout the day spending about an hour at each one and seeing in person what the working environment is like and what job options are. This type of interaction is essential to give our rural students a chance to experience the work environment first hand and to learn about. the skills that they will require. Student feedback has been overwhelmingly positive for both of these events.
