Positive energy, passion, and a high level of integrity are critical for this role.

This program is called "Be Pro Be Proud", and this specific tour will run solely in the state of North Carolina.  Be Pro Be Proud is aimed at engaging high school students to explore careers in various skilled trades such as commercial driving, welding, heavy equipment operation, and more.  Maybe you have a story to tell that will resonate with high schoolers looking for the next chapter in their life.  Do you have a background working with and/or educating high schoolers (13-18)?  Are you able to engage young people in a positive way?  Do you have a high-energy, positive, patient, and encouraging personality?  If yes, then we need to talk.

• Execute the day's event, and pack up for the next day's event in partnership with your Brand Ambassador Tour partner
• You'll ensure the event trailer and all interactive exhibits and simulators are clean, safe, operational, and event-ready
• You'll be expected to address and speak to many of the young people during these events and assist them with the interactive components of the trailer (approximately 25-30 students per class onboard the event trailer, generally about 150 students per day)
  
• Tear down the trailer and pack exhibits each day at the end of the event
  
• Full training will be provided, including safe operation of the event trailer and road tractor, operation of all simulators and technology aboard the trailer, talking points, and more
