Two Components to Draft Day:

• Career Matching Interviews to connect high school seniors to hiring employers.

• Career Expo for all sophomores, juniors, and seniors to learn about future job opportunities.

Career Matching Interviews

Graduating seniors across Arkansas will be purposefully matched by their aptitude and interest to regional employers interested in hiring individuals for career types represented on the Be Pro Be Proud Mobile Workshop.Prior to Draft Day, Seniors will participate in an Aptitude and Interest Assessment, Resume-Building and Interview Readiness Workshops, and Mock Interviews. Our process compares student-provided data with YouScience results on student interests and aptitudes to match students and employers based on need and skillset. This method assists in providing high-value conversations for all involved and increasing the return on investment made by participating partners.

Career Expo

Draft Day also offers companies the opportunity to engage with their future talent pipeline through Draft Day’s career expo, which takes place simultaneously and is open to all sophomores, juniors, and seniors on the host high school campus.
