Event Description:
PURPOSE
To provide high school students, college students, and career-changing professionals an opportunity to learn about growing industries in the greater Sarasota region. The “State of Jobs” Conference’s (SOJ) goal is to bring community organizations, educational institutions, and local businesses together to discuss one topic, jobs. Through industry-leading keynote speakers, expert panels, and industry tracks / industry speakers, the SOJ Conference will show attendees higher-ed and career opportunities in Sarasota.
The SOJ Conference is not a job fair. However, it does provide an element of a job fair. We are inviting businesses, organizations and institutions to have a booth to engage with attendees and provide information to all who attends.
COST
The SOJ Conference is a value to this community. We are providing it 100% free to all who attends. In addition to providing the conference free to attendees, we are providing lunch during the all day session on Thursday (17th) provided by Chick-Fil-A. Throughout the event, drinks and snacks are available for purchase. All volunteers will have exclusive access to the volunteer room where free water will be provided.
As you might imagine this conference is expensive. However, that’s why it’s very important to have great partners and sponsors from the community to make this a possibility. We have made the sponsorship pricing very reasonable to maximize community participation.
SPEAKERS/PANELS
The keynote speakers bring us expertise in the areas of the economy, business, Sarasota opportunities and the state of being hired. In addition, we have industry tracks that include healthcare, technology, hospitality, construction & architecture, manufacturing, law, and finance. Each track provides 3 track speakers to demonstrate a wide variety of careers within the field.
We believe by providing our local students with an outlet of learning about opportunities locally will provide them with the ability and/or desire to pursue a career in our region. This event will be completely free to attend which means we are counting on great partners to be part of this event. Below, is some basic information for you to begin your consideration of being part of this great community event.
