Take a Child to Work Day

 

The WKU Department of Human Resources is proud to host our Take a Child to Work Day (TACTWD) event on Thursday, April 23rd!  All WKU Employees with either children or grandchildren currently enrolled in grades 2nd – 12th are invited to participate in this free event!  Registration is limited and spots fill up fast. Breakout sessions are assigned on a first come, first serve basis. Registration ends Tuesday, April 7th. Registration will close earlier if capacity is reached. Don't delay, register today!

Register Here!

Here's How it Works!

1. Preview the breakout session opportunities and have your child(ren) or grandchild(ren) rank the sessions in order of preference. High School students will follow a separate program aimed to help them become college ready. Details for high school students can be found HERE.
2. Complete the registration form by April 7th. Registration will close earlier if capacity is reached.
3. Bring your child(ren) or grandchild(ren) to DSU room 3024 on Thursday, April 23rd, between 8:00-8:30am and enjoy complimentary donuts, coffee, and juice! Programing starts at 8:30am. If you can, enjoy breakfast with your child and stay for the program before we head off to our activities.
4. Lunch at Fresh Foods will be provided for participants at 11:30am. We encourage parents or grandparents of participants to join us for lunch at Fresh Foods and utilize their monthly free meal swipe.
5. Pick up your child(ren) or grandchild(ren) in DSU 3024 at 3:00pm to shadow you for the remainder of the day, provided your department allows shadowing.

***For the safety of your children and grandchildren, ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST BE SIGNED IN AND OUT BY AN AUTHORIZED ADULT.  Participants will NOT be allowed to leave without an authorized adult.  Participants will be physically active the majority of the day and are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing and appropriate footwear for extensive walking and prepare for inclement weather.

We are also looking for volunteers! If you would like to volunteer or have any questions or concerns, please contact Human Resources.
