Career Chats

Kent ISD’s Career Chats are designed to provide 7-12-grade students a virtual opportunity to meet real professionals employed in real jobs.  This series of 30-minute sessions will highlight professions in a variety of career pathways, giving students the opportunity to learn more about a career of interest or to explore new options.  Professionals will share their career paths, along with valuable industry insights that support student career exploration.  Students will have an opportunity to ask their questions through the platform’s chat function.

All Career Chats are recorded. To see previous chats, visit our Archived Videos page
