The
2011 Magic City Campus Senior Career Fair Roundtable Sessions
focused on career opportunities within all 16
Career Clusters. This activity took place between 9:00 AM
and 10:40 AM while the juniors took the state test on October
25th and 26th, 2011. During this event, students attended five
20 minute roundtable presentations of their choice to learn
about careers they are interested in. After the roundtable sessions
ended, students attended a one hour presentation in the Arvel
Graving Theatre. Bob Edwards presented the first day and the
second day representatives from the Jump Start Coalition presented
information on financial literacy. Students who participated
earned 1 test exempt coupon each day. Students can use their
coupons to exempt them from taking a final exam of their
choice at the end of second semester. As proof of attendance,
students received a card at the door each day. Students printed
their name on the card and dropped the card in a box at the
door on their way out.

The
roundtable sessions were held in the Magic City campus gym from
9:00 AM until 10:40 AM on October 25th and 26th, 2011. Each
day, there were approximately 55 presenters in the gym representing
careers in 8 of the 16 career clusters. Presenters were grouped
together by cluster to make it easy for students to find them
using a locator handed out at the door. For their first roundtable
session, students were instructed to find/sit at the table assigned
to the presenter representing a career they were interested
in. After 20 minutes, students were told to rotate and find
another session of their choice with students attending a total
of 5 sessions each day. This event was very successful and surprisingly
it wasn't that noisy in the gym. To view the locator for each

Each
student attended and evaluated 10 presentations
during the roundtable events held on October 25th
and 26th for a total of 3585 session evaluations
handed in. Out of the 3585 session evaluations,
3080 evaluations completed by students rated a presentation
as excellent, 379 evaluations rated a presentation
as average, and only 126 evaluations rated a presentation
as poor. When looking at the results of this evaluation,
keep in mind the presenters are not professional
speakers, they are professionals from the business
community taking time out of their busy schedule
to share information. If students rated a session
as poor, they probably discovered it is not a career
for them, which made this a positive experience
for them.
Students
evaluated the roundtable presentations by
selecting their response on the following scale:
The
first smiley face represents excellent, the straight
face represents average, and the frown represents
poor.
