The adult educator, along with key people in the community, organizes a career fair for learners in the community. First they establish a committee to organize the event and then contact organizations in the community such as government departments, private businesses, local government agencies, non-profit and volunteer organizations. Along with local organizations, territorial organizations are invited to attend the career fair. The organizations are invited to set up a display at the career fair and provide information to learners.
A career scavenger hunt is developed and learners have to find the “worker” based on the descriptions provided and get a stamp on their Career Fair Stamp Sheet (sample included) by someone who does that job.
Prizes for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd most interesting, informative and enthusiastic display table are presented at the Career Fair.
