Career Chat Live is a virtual event featuring six engaging, 25-minute sessions (plus a bonus military session). Each session focuses on a new set of careers where youth meet workforce professionals in specific career fields. The youth will have the opportunity to ask questions to engage with the guest speakers. Career Chat Live is designed for middle-school-aged youth, and youth do not need to be enrolled in 4‑H to participate.
The Career Chat Live program is a partnership between Nebraska Extension 4‑H Youth Development, University of Nebraska–Lincoln College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources Education & Career Pathways, and the EducationQuest Foundation.
Once registered, you’ll receive links to pre- and post-event lessons, along with more details about our speakers — making it easy to prepare your students for this exciting experience.
