Transportation Outreach and Recruitment Resources

As a respected transportation professional, you have no doubt been asked at some point to participate in recruitment events and activities hosted by primary or secondary schools, colleges or universities, community groups, or other. In response to this request, you have likely either (1) spent significant time and energy outside of your workday researching available recruitment resources and independently developing transportation-related presentation materials and hands-on activities or exercises or (2) politely declined due to time and energy constraints. If your response was the latter, you are not alone.

To make it easier for transportation professionals to participate in local recruitment events and activities, the ITE Transportation Education Council has compiled useful resources to aid in your efforts. These tools represent a first step in encouraging higher quality and more frequent outreach to pre-college students. Through outreach at the local levels and by local volunteers, a much broader student audience can be exposed to the transportation profession and be encouraged to develop a strong interest in pursuing a transportation-related career.

Supplemental Pre-College Recruitment Presentation Materials

As a complement to the toolbox, these presentation materials and templates may be used to precede active learning sessions. A professional doing career outreach may choose to provide a brief presentation introducing transportation engineering as a profession prior to or after performing one of the hands-on activities available in the toolbox.

These materials may also be used to as a stand-alone exchange when forums do not support active learning opportunities. You may use these presentations and update them to provide more local flavor.
