Mission Tomorrow RVA
2020 - ICL team members participated in Mission Tomorrow: Next Generation, a virtual career exploration event.
This annual event is held for 8th graders in the Richmond, VA region, giving them exposure to different types of careers from up to 170 local businesses.
Normally an in-person event, ICL represented the Transportation, Distribution, and Logistics sector by setting up a virtual booth with industry information and videos, and connecting with students via chat.
2019 - ICL joined other businesses in the Richmond VA market to showcase our industry to local 8th graders and help them navigate possible high school study tracts. ICL used fun and engaging giant balancing blocks and four-in-a-row games as we introduced the students to transportation and logistics. Each game piece included interesting facts about the industry and discussed possible career paths.
"Through an interactive series of activities and discussions with employers, Mission Tomorrow will encourage students to explore career interests and in-demand jobs from 140 businesses in our region. Students also gain a better understanding of what it means to be prepared for a job and be exposed to various career and technical education resources within their localities."
