Description : The Futures Fair brings middle school students on campus to meet representatives from community partners, local businesses, UNO departments and organizations, and representatives from Metropolitan Community College. Partnership 4 Kids, in conjunction with the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) Goodrich Program and Metropolitan Community College will host their annual “Futures Fair”, a career exploration event, designed specifically for middle school students. Nearly 250 middle-school students attend at the CEC on the UNO campus, where these pre-teens will get a glimpse at their future career possibilities and receive first-hand insights as well as expert advice from Omaha business professionals representing occupations ranging from aviation to advertising. Not only will Partnership 4 Kids students explore the wide range of possible career opportunities that exist locally, but they will also get a taste of higher education from current Goodrich Scholars who will serve as the students’ personal guides and advisors for the duration of the career fair. Partnership 4 Kids started collaborating with UNO for the annual futures fair in 2013, while P4K has hosted this event for many years prior.

Description : As a part of their Service Learning project with Thompson Learning Community, Partnership 4 Kids will visit UNO to work in groups with their partners. Together students will be working on resume building and interview skills. After they have completed working in groups, they will share what they have learned in a presentation to the group. This project supported the development of P4K’s career readiness curriculum and as a result of this project, P4K students will hold mock interviews within their program and build upon what they learned with the TLC students in the fall.
