Description

Career Carnival for Kids offers career discovery events to introduce elementary and middle school students to professionals in a variety of fields such as health care, STEM, public safety, marketing, business, finance and more.

Kids ages 8-14, and their families, can meet Career Guides (industry professionals) from different businesses, organizations and schools to enjoy hands-on activities, games and giveaways while learning about the amazing world of work.

There will be activities available for younger children as well.

Career Guides from Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind, F&S Digital, AtlantiCare, Horizon BCBSNJ, Langan, ASCE, HNTB, Ditmire Motorworks, Atlantic Cape Community College, as well as Steel Pier, Showboat Resort and Lucky Snake Arcade, will be among the many companies and organizations sharing their expertise.

A Teen Hiring Station will introduce older students (grades 9 and up) to employers seeking part-time and seasonal workers and volunteers.

Register via Eventbrite to receive a discounted parking fee of $10 at the Showboat.

To kick off the event, Career Carnival for Kids is also holding a free Student Art Contest for the youth of Atlantic and Cape May counties. Students in grades 3-8 may enter (with the consent of a parent/guardian) by submitting artwork based on one of two themes: Entrepreneurial Effort: Design a Logo or Job Appreciation: Work that Makes Your World a Better Place. Artwork must be submitted by Feb. 27. Visit https://careercarnivalforkids.com/art-contest for details.
