Options Unlimited A Role Modeling Program to Expand Career Options Day Long Events: The Career Awareness Conference Small groups should have eight to twelve students to allow maximum participation. It is ideal to have two role models per small group. The idea is to expose the students to as many different people and career options throughout the day as possible. Aim to have a ratio of around one role model to every six or seven students. Break students into small groups with one role model per group. Let the students find out as much as possible about the role model in five minutes. Reassemble in a large group and let the students introduce their role model to the large group. Inform the role model how long to make their opening presentation and that it may be necessary to cut it short. If time allows only a few presenters, try to choose inspirational speakers during this opening session as they will help set the tone for the day. A panel moderator can keep track of individual presentation time and field any questions from the students.
