Career Day

Build it, Create it, Make it your future!

The SDSU Institute for Transformative Education Career Day offers middle school students in the San Diego area a unique opportunity to explore a wide range of career options. From public health to engineering, urban planning, and trades, students will participate in career panels and workshops with professionals in their fields of interest.

In addition to learning about different career paths, students will also discover various ITE programs available to them right now. These programs are designed to help prepare them for college and future careers. Join us on Friday, April 25, 2025 for day of exploration and inspiration as we help you pave the way to a successful future!
