Information about the Careers Expo:
For the 8th year, the National Association of Practicing Anthropologists (NAPA) and the AAA Office on Practicing and Applied Programs present the Careers Exposition at the AAA meeting in Chicago. The Expo provides a readily accessible opportunity for students and new/emerging professional anthropologists to broaden their understanding of the important and creative opportunities for using their skills. The Expo features professional and practicing anthropologists who highlight the creative ways that anthropologists use their skills featuring some of the many new and emerging careers paths open to professional anthropologists. Last year over 500 people attended the Expo including faculty interested in being able to share cutting edge opportunities with students.
This year, over 40 professional anthropologists in government, private sector, and non-profit careers will be available to share their career paths and to discuss career development. NAPA will also have an instant mentoring booth at the Expo. The Expo is open from 11 am to 4 pm on Friday the 22nd in the Exhibit Hall and is open to everyone attending the AAA. Watch for more information on NAPA and AAA LinkedIn pages, blogs, and, email blasts. Look for flyers at the meeting with the Expo map showing this year’s participants.
