VALEES presents - Spark! Career Exploration Event
On Tuesday, April 29, 2025, Ninth grade students from Indian Valley Vocational Center sending schools including Earlville, Hinckley-Big Rock, Indian Creek, Leland, Newark, Plano, Sandwich, Somonauk and Yorkville will attend this career exploration event in the gymnasium of the Fox Valley Family YMCA in Plano. It is expected that there will be between 500-600 students attending during the day.
VALEES is inviting industry experts, as yourself, to host a table at the Spark! Career Extravaganza event. Last year, business people met with freshmen and provided them with an interactive, engaging, hands-on activity to showcase their careers.
From our experience, it is best that a minimum of two business representatives work at each table. All students will have an opportunity to connect with area businesses representing the seven College and Career Pathway Endorsement areas. Students will deepen their understanding of careers available in our community. This is not a job fair, in the sense that you are promoting your employer for hire, but an interactive career expo. Since this will be a color-coded event, we will provide the tablecloths.
