Post-High Planning & Career Fair

The Career and Technical Education Department at Riggs High School is very excited to announce the 1st Annual combined T. F. Riggs High School Post-High Planning & Career Fair. It is scheduled for Wednesday, January 24, 2018, from 8:15 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. in the Riggs High School Gyms.

This exciting new event will present valuable information to our students about the multitude of career options available to them upon graduation. Our area businesses will play an important role in this event. At this time all high school students enrolled at Riggs will participate, as well as, potentially some students from Stanley County schools. The students will be attending the event via a rotating schedule that allows each student approximately 50 minutes to tour the booths and visit with those businesses and post-secondary schools which offer the careers of most interest to them.

Those hosting booths at the fair have been encouraged to bring along any materials they feel would help educate the students about the variety of career offerings available at their business; including pamphlets, diagrams, models, etc., and even business cards if they so choose. They are encouraged to be creative in their presentation endeavors and if their occupation allows for the presentation of a demonstration to engage the students, all the better. We anticipate these demonstrations will be an integral part of the learning process and will greatly contribute to the excitement of the fair and the engagement of the students.

There is still space available for additional booths should area businesses just learning of this event wish to participate. If interested in participating, local businesses should contact Cheryl Ulmen by phone or email with any questions or to receive the appropriate registration information.
