2013 OCS Employability Seminar

Alamance-Burlington School System will host our 5th Annual OCS Employability Seminar. The seminar is for all OCS students in grades nine (9) through twelve (12). It will be held at The Paramount Theater on March 8th, 2013 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

This is a competition for the students to participate in and build their employability skills. Each participating school will earn points based on the components of the event: Part I (Business Panel), Part II (Break), and Part III (School Duel). We will be giving bonus points for the schools that arrive on time. The expected dress for the event will be business casual and no denim. No electronic devices will be permitted at the event.

The Business Panel will consist of local employers. Students will ask employment questions to the panel and earn points for their school. The School Duel is a time for students to show what they have learned through the Occupational Preparation courses. Each school will have a team of 4-6 members to represent them in this part of the competition. Points will be totaled at the conclusion of the event and awards given to the winning school.

We are very excited about this event and would like for all OCS students to attend even if they are not on the School Duel team. Please fill out the bottom portion of this letter and return it to school by March 1st, 2013. If you have questions please feel free to call: Erin Rodriguez at 336-570-6400.

Thanks!
