High School Student Engagement
The following customizable PowerPoints are designed to raise awareness of accounting career opportunities among high school students. Use these for any opportunities you have to engage with high school students, including events aligned with Accounting Opportunities Experience.
Discover Your Future – Use this high school PowerPoint presentation for those with little to no experience with accounting (i.e., high school freshmen and sophomores).
Let’s Talk Business – Use this high school PowerPoint presentation for high school students who already have a baseline understanding of what accounting is. If you have used the previous Accounting Opportunities Experience PowerPoint, this is simply an updated version.

What is a CPA? This PowerPoint takes the discussion a step further, introducing students to the CPA credential, including eligibility requirements, benefits of becoming a CPA, and the CPA Exam.
