Business Wire
Stride, Inc., the nation’s leading provider of online and
blended education programs, announced today the creation of a
4-part webinar series called My Career Connections, as a way for
high school students nationwide to learn and apply for open
opportunities with industry-leading hiring partners.
This live online series will put students in front of major
organizations for a shot at over 50,000 potential opportunities
that include internships, externships, actual entry-level jobs, and
more.
Participating companies include Wayfair, CVS Health, Boeing, AG
Careers, U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), U.S. National
Security Agency (NSA), and the U.S. State Department.
During each online event, students will not only learn about
each organization, but they will hear directly from hiring managers
and company representatives on how to search, apply, and interview
for open opportunities, associated career paths in different
fields, and have the chance to ask questions. Stride Success
Coaches will also help prepare students during and after the events
on how to prepare their resumes, interview successfully, and be a
standout candidate for placement.
The first webinar will take place Jan 24th featuring Federal Job
Opportunities with the US Office of Personnel Management (OPM),
followed by CVS on Feb 24, with more to follow. To sign up for
these events, visit this link.
“This is a great way for students around the country to learn
about specific career paths in a variety of fields and apply for
jobs while still in high school,” said Dr. Sherri Wilson, Director
of Partnership Development and Career Pathways . “Our employer
partners have a direct interest in building relationships with and
hiring the next generation of the workforce and are excited to
create opportunities and recruit GenZ talent.”
Event attendees will also receive several tool kits they can
download from each session packed with more information about the
hiring partners, additional tips for applying, and more free
resources as they explore opportunities. And they will learn how to
create a free online profile on Tallo, the nation’s premier online
platform for connecting students with opportunities, to get
automatically matched to future opportunities, employers, colleges,
and other tools and content to prepare them for career-related
opportunities.
All participants will be encouraged to create or enhance their
Tallo profile to work and connect with employers, find open roles
and learn about future events, as well as get expert advice on
creating a standout resume, develop interviewing techniques, and
more from Tallo’s own Career Coaches.
