Draft Day is a hands-on technical career event connecting Arkansas high school students with potential employers.The event will take place from 9 until noon and will feature representatives from 33 employers across the state who will meet with students from 27 regional high schools, conducting interviews based on student interests and skills identified through the YouScience Aptitude and Interest Assessment.
In addition to interviews, students will have the opportunity to explore career options through Be Pro Be Proud’s Mobile Workshop, an interactive experience featuring augmented reality demonstrations of in-demand skilled trades.
