Upcoming Networking and Opportunity Fair

The Greater New Hampton area NICC Business Sector Board spent time this fall pitching a marketing plan to Iowa BIG North including an idea to bring businesses into New Hampton and Turkey Valley high schools in a more intentional way than a career fair.  The outcome has been the upcoming Networking and Opportunity Fair.

On February 27th from 9-11:30 the NICC initiative students are hosting an event that includes speed interviewing, business and industry panels, and intentional networking for 11th and 12th graders in both districts.  Students will be preparing the next couple months to ensure that they have researched job opportunities, polished resumes, and built questions around their interest area.  Look forward to more updates!

Celebrating Each Other

The holiday season and the end of the semester can be a tough time for students and adults alike.  Although we are serious about buckling down for finals, we also want to celebrate the season and each other.  As you see above, we are providing a coffee bar during finals and we also have our Ugly Holiday Sweater event this Friday. In addition, we have started "Pass the Pig" this week among high school staff to show anonymous appreciation for each other.

You will also see decorated doors throughout the building that will be judged by students.  Keeping a positive vibe not only helps days go quickly, but adds to the comfort level of all in the building.  What are you doing to build up those around you, children and adults alike?
