Career Chat Live offers live, virtual career exploration opportunities. Our upcoming program will be held on Thursday, December 12, 2024. Each session focuses on a new set of careers. During each session, youth will get to meet workforce professionals in that career field and have the opportunity to ask questions with the guest speakers. Career Chat Live is designed for middle-school-aged youth, and youth do not need to be enrolled in 4-H to participate.

You can find the morning and afternoon registration links on our webpage https://4h.unl.edu/career-chat-live. The Career Chat Live program is a partnership between Nebraska Extension 4-H Youth Development and Education Quest Foundation.
