Career fair aims to introduce young Oklahomans to jobs in engineering

GROWING. WE HAVE EVERYBODY FROM BOEING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY TO BANCFIRST TO SO MANY OF OUR OWN EMPLOYEES THAT WORK FOR THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY HERE. THE OKLAHOMA HISTORY CENTER HOSTS CAREER FAIRS FOR STUDENTS K THROUGH 12TH GRADE, GIVING THEM OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPLORE MULTIPLE INDUSTRIES AND JOBS WITHIN OKLAHOMA. THE HISTORY CENTER PICKS A DIFFERENT FIELD OF INTEREST FOR EACH MONTH’S CAREER FAIR AND MAKES SURE TO INVITE VARIOUS COMPANIES TO SHARE THEIR JOB OPPORTUNITIES. LAST MONTH, WE FOCUSED ON SPORTS AND WE WERE REALLY TALKING ABOUT ALL THE DIFFERENT SPORTS STUDENTS WHO COME HERE TO THE OKLAHOMA HISTORY CENTER. HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN FROM MULTIPLE COMPANIES FROM ACROSS THE BOARD AND HOW THEY DO IT IS THEY BRING THEIR SHEET OF PAPER UP TO A BOOTH, LEARN ALL ABOUT THE NEW OPPORTUNITIES, AND THEY GET A STAMP. AND TONIGHT AT THE HISTORY CENTER, STUDENTS LEARNED MORE ABOUT JOBS IN ENGINEERING, LIKE THOSE AT BOEING REQUIREMENTS. A LOT OF DOCUMENT REVIEWS, DRAWINGS THAT ARE MAKING SURE PLANES STAY SAFE. THEY SAY IT’S VITAL TO KEEP THE CONVERSATION GOING AND TO KEEP STUDENTS EXCITED ABOUT ENGINEERING. SO THEY ARE DOING WHAT THEY CAN TO RECRUIT THE NEXT GENERATION OF ENGINEERS IN OKLAHOMA. I SEE A TRANSITION. WE HAVE AN OLDER GENERATION THAT IS ABOUT TO RETIRE, THAT NEEDS TO BE NEEDS TO HAVE THE YOUNG GENERATION THERE SO THAT THEY CAN START TO TRANSFER ALL THAT KNOWLEDG
