Career Development "Lunch With ... Series" opportunity

The MDLP and DOE are looking to run a series of lunchtime distance learning (ATM) events that concentrate on career development in February 2006. The purpose of these events, which we are calling the Lunch With ... Series, will be to expose students to career fields that are beyond their normal scope of influence.

To participate in the training, a site would need to supply one career individual who was able to talk intelligently about his/her field, education required, responsibilities, etc.

A site that participates by supplying one career session would get three career sessions in return from other interested sites.

When sites have decided upon topic(s), they should forward them to me at anne.perloff@maine.edu. I will compile and publish the list so everyone will know what is available.

I have also prepared publicity fliers to encourage student attendance at these events. They will be sent to sites participating in the series.

Please print out the informational sheet about the Lunch With ... Series, and forward it to the appropriate parties at your site.
