The Three Rivers Workforce Investment Board (TRWIB) would like to thank everyone who made the 5th Annual Imagine Career Week so successful. A very special thanks to this year's sponsorer, Citizens Bank Foundation!

Imagine Career Week is a coordinated series of events our region's youth and families with resources and tools needed for 21st century careers. The week brings together young people, parents, educators, employers, and youth serving agencies that are focused on career education.

How can I continue to be involved?

1		YOUTH & YOUNG ADULTS: Check out the Imagine Your Future contest winners! These teens wrote about and/or recorded their future dream jobs and won a day of job shadowing that career, as well as a $75 gift card... Be on the lookout for details on next year's competition. Look into a great summer internship opportunity through WorkReady Pittsburgh

2		EMPLOYERS: Host high school youth during WorkReady Pittsburgh Participate with local school districts to tell youth directly what you look for in new employees

3		EDUCATORS & YOUTH WORKERS: Let us know what you are doing to teach students about their future careers during Imagine Career Week, and we will post it on our site! Check out resources on careers you can reference and share with youth throughout the year Let us know what activities or suggestions you have for next year's Imagine Career Week
