Take Our Kids to Work Day supports career exploration and career readiness. Experiencing a “day in the life” of a professional within a workplace allows students to explore the world of work and helps them make informed educational decisions. Other options? Anytime with these virtual reality workplace tours or Real Talk videos with real people giving real career advice, the stuff they wish they knew in high school. Operation Veteran
