Careers Speakers & Pathways Presentations
|
What comes after high school? More than ever, students are under pressure to figure out what they're doing with their lives.
Here's the problem: Society has bought into a bunch of beliefs that are not true! Have you ever heard these myths?
Inspiring & Hilarious for Students!The Beanstalk Project is on a mission to help students find the right pathway for them after high school.
"Busting the Myths of Life After High School" The 45-75 minute presentation is funny, relevant, and inspiring! Students will be clearer on their path, less stressed, and excited about their next steps for finding a career they love. It's a great fit in schools for:

"I feel like a huge weight has been lifted!" - Amy, Grade 11 Student, Stratford "You just covered my whole careers class in an hour! Thank you!" - John, Teacher, Strathroy |
Great PD for Educators Too!We offer professional development sessions and keynote speaking for educators, typically 30-90 minutes in length, but custom half-day or full-day sessions are also available:
"Post-Secondary Pathways: Dismantling the Hierarchy" Description: Most students and parents (and even teachers) believe in a hierarchy of pathways: University, College, Apprenticeship, then Workplace. It's bogus. We need smart students in EVERY pathway. We need to recognize the "Entrepreneurship" pathway. We need students who are motivated by more than parental expectations. Let’s explore how we can get more people doing experiential education, co-ops, and the experiential pathways. Lively discussion, guaranteed fun, and productive ideas to win over those annoying naysayers. Other Speaking TopicsThe Beanstalk Project also has speakers who can deliver powerful messages on:

With a simple shift in mindset, we can empower ourselves, change our lives, and make a difference for others! "Moving Ideas Forward" A creativity-filled ideation and prototyping session. Everyone leaves with an idea for a real project in their school or community, and a process they can use to turn any idea in action. Our speakers are a great fit for:
