Job Talks

Ada-Borup-West Elementary is looking for volunteers to come in and share about their careers with our students this year!

We’re excited to launch our Career of the Month program — each month, our students will explore new job fields and learn how people help, build, care, and create in our community.

If you’d like to give a short Job Talk (10–20 minutes, in-person or virtual) about your career, please reach out to Mrs. Triplett at breet@ada.k12.mn.us

.

All professions are welcome — we’d love to have you inspire our Future Cougars!

🐾

If you don’t see your career listed below, or if the monthly timeline doesn’t work for you, we can be flexible — we’re happy to find a time that fits your schedule!
