Frisco ISD currently has an opportunity for you to give your time to our future workforce! Professionals in a variety of industries are needed.
The ISM Professional Symposium event will be held at Panther Creek High School on Thursday, October 5, 2023. There will be a morning session from 7:30 AM to 11:30 AM (CHS, EHS, HHS, IHS, LHS, LTHS) and an afternoon session from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM (FHS, LSHS, MHS, PCHS, RHS, WHS). You can participate in one or both.
As a volunteer for the ISM Symposium, you will be asked to participate in a meet and greet with students and then facilitate 15-minute mock interviews.
If you are available and interested in either or both opportunities, please follow the directions below. (Please note: you won’t be able to actually sign up until your application and background check are complete. You will have two separate steps.)

On a Personal Note
I’ve consistently attended the ISM Professional Symposium over the years. Despite its timing during my busy periods, I find it immensely rewarding. Having been both a mentor to a student now in grad school and a parent of an ISM graduate who’s become a nurse, I’ve gained unique perspectives on the program. It stands as one of the most fulfilling experiences in my career.
