Volunteer Opportunity: JA Jobspark 2023

JA JobSpark is a two-day, hands- on career expo at the Indiana State Fairgrounds impacting over 11,000 Indianapolis eighth graders. The JA JobSpark initiative includes in-class curriculum and activities prior to and after attending the event. JA JobSpark is meant to “spark” an interest in students and get them excited for their future!

Students will learn about skills needed for jobs that will be in-demand when they graduate by interacting with industry professionals and utilizing equipment that is used on those jobs daily. Women & Hi Tech is pleased to once again be participating at the event as an exhibitor!

JA JobSpark is a part of Junior Achievement’s career- exploration curriculum that has been delivered to many of the students throughout their academic experience, beginning in elementary school. The event gives students the opportunity to interact with professionals from eight industry clusters and learn about future in-demand careers. JA JobSpark introduces students to a variety of professions and industries allowing them to better understand what it takes to get a job and develop a career.

We hope you can join us as a volunteer for part or all of the day on September 26 or 27!
