The Sequoia HS Digital Arts Academy is a California Partnership Academy, one of five in our school district and one of 500+ throughout the state of California, each with its own industry focus providing hands-on experiences for students to prepare them for their future careers.
We would like to have guest speakers for the sophomores in our program to learn more about multimedia, filmmaking, and the broader topics of communication and marketing.
Join us for a one-time visit to share your career, educational background, give a brief job description, and offer the pros & cons of your field. A standard presentation might include:
- Start with an overview of your career pathway, beginning with what you were interested in high school, college, early jobs, etc. and what you do today
- What key steps do you think helped make you successful? Was there an opportunity that you took? A risk? An important mentor or job?
- Then talk about some of the exciting technology that you work with or direct today. Can you give them a challenge to demonstrate this?
- Finally, wrap up by bringing it down to their level, what 1-2 steps can they do now? join a club or team, meet with a teacher, etc.
