Annual STEM Virtual Career Fair
The Florida Department of Education is proud to partner with the Florida Virtual School and
Elluminate Technology to host the 2nd Annual Science, Technology, Engineering and Math
(STEM) Virtual Career Fair on April 27th. This FREE one-day event is open to all Florida
middle and high school students to learn directly from featured speakers about what it takes to be
successful in STEM-related careers. Instead of having a job fair in a physical location – we are
offering this great opportunity through a virtual forum! Various speakers will be presenting
throughout the day, including a cancer research scientist, marine biologist, nurse anesthetist, and
digital marketer, just to name a few.
We hope that your students will be able to participate in this exciting event. To learn more about
the Fair, visit http://www.tinyurl.com/FLVScounselors. A full agenda of speakers is available at
http://www.fldoe.org/students.
If you should have any questions about the upcoming event, please do not hesitate to contact Hue
Reynolds (hue.reynolds@fldoe.org) or call her at (850) 245-9670.
