The MS Counseling Center is thrilled to share with you this year's Virtual Career Fair! We have had much success in the past bringing career presenters to the middle school so we wanted to continue that initiative through distance learning this year. A unique feature of this year's career fair is that we focused on professionals that hold ESSENTIAL jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, a lot of the presentors are CCSD alumni! You will see the link below to access our google slides presentation to enjoy at home with your children and family. Here are some simple directions to follow to get the most out of the presentation:

1. When you open the Google Slides document, click PRESENT in the top right corner. This will allow you to access the links for presentor videos.

2. START by watching the video on the first slide. This will give you further directions to get the most out of the career fair.

3. Video links are located near the WARRIOR SPEAR icons on each page. If it does not work with the first click, you may have to click in various spots on each specific icon to access the video that you want as the icons can be touchy.
