Project Inspire

Project Inspire is a program targeted to middle school students in Milpitas to "inspire" students to explore careers and their future. We recruit professionals in the area to come and speak to students on a variety of topics. A few examples:
  • What's it like to work for  (Google, Apple, Facebook, etc.)?
  • Why did you choose that career?
  • What is college like? Do you have to go to college?
  • What were some of the challenges that you overcame when you were in school?
  • What is like to be a woman engineer / manager?
Speakers spend approximately 45 minutes in a classroom engaged in a conversation with the students, typically arranged on a Friday morning or afternoon. We also provide acknowledgements to employers for our speakers so that this is counted towards community service for their company. Teachers can request a speaker by filling a Reservation Request, and we will do our best to find a time amenable to all. Our speaking "season" is October through May.
