From Harford County Public Schools:

Harford Technical High School & Harford Community College
March 22, 2012 – 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

BE A PART OF SOMETHING GREAT!

In order to meet the needs of eleventh grade students who are contemplating their future options, Harford County Public Schools will host Futures11, a series of informative sessions addressing issues relevant to high school juniors. These sessions will assist students in making informed and positive decisions regarding their academic and career pursuits. Session topics will include:

– STEM Challenge
– College Admissions
– Financing College
– Internships & Apprenticeships
– Facebook Etiquette, Online Resources & Security Clearance
– Hot Jobs – BRAC and Beyond
– Preparing for Job Interviews & Job Fairs
– Behavioral Analysis on How People Work Within an Organization

Approximately 450 high school juniors from Harford Technical High School, the Science and Mathematics Academy at Aberdeen High School, the Biomedical Sciences Program at Bel Air High School, the Academy of Finance at Edgewood High School, the Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness Program at Joppatowne High School, and the Global Studies and International Baccalaureate Program at Edgewood High School will attend this conference.

Since the Futures11 conference is beyond standard school activities, sponsorship support is needed to provide transportation to and from the conference and to pay for student “take-aways”. It is our hope that local businesses continue to partner with Harford County Public Schools by sponsoring students for this event.

The cost of sponsoring one student is $25.00. You may choose to sponsor one student or to consider the following sponsorship levels:
1 – 10 students . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Freshman Level
11 – 20 students . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Sophomore Level
21 – 30 students . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Junior Level
31 – 40 students . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Senior Level
41 or more students. . . . . . . . . . . . . .Graduate Level

Your sponsorship will be recognized in the Futures11 program and all public relations materials related to the conference. It will also be considered a tax deductible donation.
