CAREER FAIR FOR DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING STUDENTS MAY
21
May 13, 2002
Miami-Dade County Public Schools' Office of Exceptional
Student Education and Psychological Services will hold its
18th annual Career Fair for Deaf and Hard of Hearing
Students on Tuesday, May 21, from 10 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. in
the Florida Ballroom of the Renaissance Miami Biscayne Bay
Hotel, 1601 Biscayne Blvd.
Secondary students will be able to meet deaf and hard of
hearing working professionals. The students will have the
opportunity to interact with these role models and learn of
their experiences.
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, Mary Ellen
Tracy, or Wendy Hameroff-Cohen, Counselors for Deaf and Hard
of Hearing Students, at 305-995-1779.
