Overview
Career & Life Path Day (CLPD) is a three day Oshkosh Chamber of Commerce and Junior Achievement event that gives 8th grade students in the Oshkosh community the opportunity to gain first hand experience with a business or organization of their choice. CLPD gives students the tools to help determine which career or life path option to pursue, whether it is post secondary education, the military, entering the workforce, or volunteering, or other options.
Prior to the event, the students work on career based curriculum to provide a foundation to Career and Life Path Day. CLPD gives them the opportunity to explore this career area further. Students gain valuable information including:
- The education path required for a certain career / job
- The rewards and challenges of a certain career
- What day to day life is like for a certain job
- What students can do to prepare for a certain career including but not limited to: part time jobs, volunteer work, and internships.
Benefits for Schools:
