CAREER SELFIE BOARDS

The best way to learn is through interaction. Workforce Solutions has selfie boards of different careers for use at job fairs and other career exploration events. Schools may request the use of these boards by emailing Flor Leal at flor@wfsolutions.org. Schools also have the option of downloading these images to create their own selfie boards.
