Do you own a business or are employed with a company that would like to participate in this year's Career Fair?

Santa Fe ISD would like to invite you to participate in our Career Fair, a district effort to provide students with an opportunity to understand the educational requirements for jobs in our area. This event, with a theme of “Connections to My Future,” will take place on Wednesday, November 13th from 7:30 a.m. until 2:45 p.m. Students (grades 8 thru 12) will rotate through our gym to talk with exhibitors about their career.

The goal of this event is to help parents and students understand the importance of earning a high school diploma with an endorsement and an industry certification and to continue formal education/training after high school graduation.

To reserve a table at our Career Fair, please contact Carrie Papstein (carrie.papstein@sfisd.org) or complete the attached form and return it via e-mail. You can also register at the following link: https://forms.office.com/r/BqHB6VV329

What is the ASVAB?

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is used to determine if you are qualified to enlist in the military and assign you to an appropriate job. The ASVAB tests measure aptitudes in four domains: Verbal, Math, Science and Technical, and Spatial.

I don’t plan on joining the military, so why should I take the test?

The ASVAB analyzes your test results to point to an appropriate job based on your skillset(s). Additional questions: Visit the official ASVAB website at www.officialasvab.com
