Pittsburgh's Future…Now! will allow students to look at employment trends in the region and the skills needed to succeed in the future economy. Students will be able to select a local company and create a marketing presentation for that company.

The top 10 teams will then have the chance to represent their chosen company at a job fair competition. The students will use the teacher-led activities to create a job recruitment campaign, and will be working closely with the local companies to obtain the information they will need to complete the activities and campaign. In addition, students will have the opportunity to make on-site visits to the companies to gain a better understanding of the companies’ functions. Companies will also help the top 10 student teams to prepare for the job fair competition by helping them set up their booths and provide company representatives to attend the competition for support.

Pittsburgh's Future…Now! is being offered to school districts in the 14 counties across western Pennsylvania including: Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Bedford, Butler, Cambria, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Lawrence, Mercer, Somerset, Washington, and Westmoreland. All participating schools and companies will be invited to attend the job fair competition which will allow the students to learn more about the different companies in the area, while providing the companies with a great networking opportunity.
