Career Fairs & Mentor Meetups

Level 4 players that secure egift card sponsorships earn amenities for their team during the local Gamers & Mixers career fairs or Legacies & Millennials meetups. As 30% of their sponsorship goes towards the CoD Network Fund, players qualify for upgrades. Upgrades are available according to the meeting spaces.

Level 4 players are also expected to present a guest panel of judges with the following digital media projects:

Project 1. My Mission Statement – shows how they developed their mission statement.

Project 2. My STEAM Career Pathway – explains how they chose their desired careers and career opportunities.

Project 3. My Digital Badge Collection – explains how they created their digital badge collection.

Project 4. My Work-Based Learning Project – media content that chronicles their activities during their work-based project.

Project 5. My Wishlist – a public service announcement to request the resources and support needed to complete their service-learning and/or convert it into a social venture.

Project 6. Create Your Own – Create your own public service announcement about any topic making sure it includes a problem, a solution, an ask and a call to action.
