The Workplace Visit Day

On November 18, 2026, during National Career Exploration Day, you’ll have the opportunity to talk with professionals from a wide range of roles, organizations, and industries. This will help you discover what the work is really like in practice and give you an honest picture of careers and employers you may not yet be familiar with.

National Career Visit Day is not a centralized job fair or event held at a single location. You choose a participating organization or professional yourself and pay them a career visit. This can take the form of a one-on-one networking session, an open house, or an online meeting. The goal is not to apply for a job, but to explore your options, ask questions, and gain new insights into your career opportunities.

Experiences of Job Seekers

“It was a pleasant meeting during which the employer really emphasized opportunities and potential.”

Alissa

“It was great to have had a casual conversation with everyone. It was a wonderful exchange of ideas, both with the professional and with the other job seekers.”

Tina

“It was a nice, pleasant conversation and more helpful than I expected. She really thought through what might be a good fit for me and also gave me some tips.”

Kees Jan

“It was a very open, positive, and encouraging conversation. The professional even offered me the opportunity to observe in a few different areas to get a sense of the work and be better prepared for an interview. I think it’s truly special that I got to speak with a woman in this position in this way. Kudos for this wonderful initiative!”
