Students Explore Careers at Anne Wien Elementary
Sixth grade students at Anne Wien Elementary set their sights on the future recently at a career day event that featured local professionals as classroom guest speakers.
“Look at the office window view from the F-16 cockpit,” said one student excitedly. “I want to be a pilot!”
To prepare for the event, students researched potential careers on the Alaska Career Information System website. At career day, a wide variety of professionals described their careers including Air Force pilots, an artist, a judge, an author, small business owners, a University of Alaska Fairbanks coach, and a firefighter.
“The purpose of career day is to encourage the students to look forward and analyze their career choices and requirements,” said teacher Jacki Scholle. “The students’ comments are evidence that they are now more aware of their own interests, the types of careers that match those interests, and what they need to do to set goals and achieve them.”
