All teachers in grades K-12 are encouraged to invite volunteer
career speakers from the AvScholars Career Speakers Program into
their classroom for career day. This is a great opportunity to expose
your students to the many careers that exist within the fields of
aviation, aerospace, or space exploration.
AvScholars' Career Speakers volunteer their time to make career-related
presentations at local schools in their community per school’s
request. For more information about the AvScholars’ Career
Speakers Program, click
