Coming April 5th 2025
The Adulting Summit event is OCJ Kids’ annual career fair, designed to prepare teens in group homes for independent living. When they turn 18, many foster teens must quickly learn to navigate adult responsibilities, including securing a job. The workshops and breakouts covers the following topics:
- RESUME BUILDING – Volunteers Help Teens Transform Their Hobbies, Interests, and Skills into a Professional Resume, Empowering Them to See Their Own Value.
- MOCK INTERVIEWS – Teens participate in one-on-one mock interviews with volunteers, gaining confidence and refining their responses for real-world job interviews.
- JOB READINESS CLASSES – Professional volunteers teach essential life skills, including budgeting, interview preparation, social media etiquette, and job retention strategies, offering a crash course in adulting.
- VENDOR TOWN – Businesses and colleges showcase their opportunities, inspiring teens to explore career paths and educational options, with some even securing future interviews.
