Meet the Workerbeez: Family & Friends Career Night
Turn the workplace into a place of inspiration
Family & Friends Career Night is an interactive, family-centered workforce engagement event where employers invite staff to bring their children for an evening of fun, learning, and career discovery.
This unique experience helps children understand what their parents do while introducing them to real-world industries in an exciting, age-appropriate way.
Families attend a themed career night hosted by the employer and powered by Meet the Workerbeez.
Each event includes:
📚 Storytime & Literacy Moment
Children engage with a Meet the Workerbeez character book connected to the employer’s industry (engineering, healthcare, tech, construction, finance, etc.), combining literacy with career awareness.
🐝 Character Meet & Greets
Costumed Workerbeez characters bring careers to life through photos, interaction, and playful learning moments.
🎯 Hands-On Industry Activities
Employer-led activity stations allow kids and families to explore the field together through:
- Simple simulations
- Problem-solving games
- Creative building or design challenges
- Role-play scenarios
👨👩👧 Family Learning Experience
Parents have the opportunity to explain their jobs in kid-friendly ways, helping children see careers as achievable and meaningful.
Family & Friends Career Night turns the workplace into a place of inspiration. By combining literacy, career exploration, and family engagement, the program helps children dream bigger while strengthening connections between employers, employees, and the next generation.
