The best way for a young person to learn about a business is to visit one!

If you own or work for a company that would welcome students to visit, we need to hear from you! Every spring businesses invite a total of approximately 300 Roosevelt eighth graders for “Job Site” field trips arranged by the OPBEA. Approximately twenty-five students are on each of these visits.

As teachers, we appreciate the outside perspective that the business community brings to our students through OPBEA programs.

Career exploration becomes a valuable life experience when a student has the opportunity to be on a site, following in a professional's foot steps.
