Career Speaker Library Access

Featuring over 40 videos, the JA Career Speaker Library highlights professional stories of an individual's career path and introduces students to professions/career paths that they may not have considered.

Organized by career clusters, videos pair with pre & post materials to fully engage students and can be used during distance learning or to supplement virtual career fairs. For access to the library contact Jill Jamison at jjamison@jamaine.org.
