The annual School to World event offers 8th and 9th grade students insight into the world of careers. Albuquerque businesses, local government, and education have come together again to present 8th and 9th grade students with School to World, an event to light the pathway towards future education and career choices.

Take a look at a short video with footage from a past event.

The next School to World event will be held on February 23, 2008 at the Albuquerque Convention Center between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Career clusters include: Arts & Communications Business (including Hospitality & Tourism) Community & Education Health Human & Public Service Science, Engineering & Technology Trades

Volunteers (professionals) in each career cluster will explain their job duties, what education & skills training is needed to qualify for their occupation, and why they chose their specific career or job. Most importantly, the volunteers will show students the link between school subjects they learn today with the work skills needed for their future career interests. There will also be representatives on site from vocational schools and colleges/universities to talk with students, as well as community agencies that promote citizenship and hands-on skill development.
