Experience 9 to 5™

Experience 9 to 5

The third year of this multi-industry career exploration program will be available October 4 through November 15, 2010.  We are proud to partner with Exploring to offer this program. 

Space is limited and registration must include confirmation that each participating student can attend ALL of the meetings including a program orientation with a parent or guardian on October 4, 2010 from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. at Westminster High School, Westminster, CO.

The cost for each industry program is $10 for students in ACEC member districts Adams 12, Adams 50, District 27J and District 31J.  The cost for students outside of these member districts is $20 for each program.

We will continue to offer explorations of varied lengths in order to provide the widest possible selection of careers. Programs run from two to ten hours in length and will all be held on MONDAY evenings from 6 pm - 8 pm.  The locations may change every week based on the host employer so please pay attention to travel time when planning on attending your path of interest.

Use these meetings to learn about possible careers,  promotion opportunities and requirements to enter the field.

The multiple night programs will allow students the chance to dig deeper into an industry of choice.  Students will get hands-on opportunities to "try out" the job and learn more about what is required to be successful.

If you are a student interested in participating, please contact Kathy Turner with Exploring at kturner@denverboyscouts.org or 720.455.5522 X 242.  Or, go to the website at: www.denverexploring.org and look for the Experience 9 to 5 option on that page.
