Wilson Elementary to Host "What in the World?"
Career Awareness Program
Wilson Elementary School will host the Business,
Industry, Education (BIE) Alliance’s “What in
the World?” career awareness program for their
4th grade students on Thursday, February 25,
2010. “What in the World?” is an interactive
program designed to introduce students in grades
3 through 12 to a wide variety of careers in the
math, science and technology fields.
For more
than a decade, “What in the World?” program
volunteers from the local business community
have gone into area schools, bringing with them
job-related “mystery objects” designed to spark
the students’ curiosity and inspire them to
learn more about the skills and education
necessary for success in these jobs.
Participation in “What in the World?” broadens
students’ horizons by exposing them to
unfamiliar occupations and motivates them to
explore career options in a whole new way.
Representatives from the following business
partners are among those who will be sharing
their time and expertise with the students at
Wilson Elementary School:
-
Christina School
