Draft Day: Celebrate matching students with opportunities

• Matching day format, with students and companies prepared to interview for specific opportunities
• Keynote speaker or panel
• Gamification application: Establish structure for students to earn points during the event, resulting in a “No. 1 draft pick” being announced.
• Post-event, companies encouraged to promote their “draft picks” -- students they select for applied work experiences
  
• If a student is hired for a direct entry role or summer employment, companies/schools can promote at the Draft Day event or at a separate “signing day” event
