Miami-Dade County Public Schools' Office of Exceptional Student
Education and Psychological Services will hold a career fair for deaf
and hard of hearing students on Wednesday, May 17, from 10 a.m. to
12:30 p.m., in the Florida Ballroom of the Wyndham Hotel, 1601
Biscayne Blvd.
More than 200 deaf and hard of hearing middle and high school
students will be able to meet deaf and hard of hearing working
professionals and employees of companies from within the community.
The students will have the opportunity to interact with these role
models and learn of their experiences without the use of
interpreters.
Personnel directors from various companies will offer opportunities
for senior students to participate in mock interviews. Since the
interviewers will be hearing people, the students will be able to
practice using a sign language interpreter in a work setting.
Additionally, the interviews will be videotaped so that students will
be able to critique themselves, along with the help of their teachers
and counselors.
For more information, contact June Dressler, Counselor for Deaf and
Hard of Hearing Students, at 305-995-1779.
