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.

A BIG THANK YOU to the 30+ local professionals that shared their career journeys with us throughout the 2024/2025 school year.  More occupations will be featured in 2025/2026.

Continue career exploration over the summer! Select a recording from our 160+ sessions by visiting our Archived Videos page.
