Be Pro Be Proud’s Draft Day is back and bigger than ever, and organizers are in full swing with more than 100 schools registered for the eight events happening across the state in Spring 2024. 

Through the registration process, Draft Day strategically matches high school seniors with employers based on corresponding interests, talents, and needs. 


Each location will have the opportunity for an estimated 300 students to each be interviewed by three employers. Additionally, employers will have the opportunity to visit with hundreds of 9th through 11th grade students in Draft Day’s Career Expo.
