Intended for girls and boys ages 8 to 12 years, the event introduces youth to the vast range of potential job opportunities and questions about how their future work will fit into their overall lives.

The theme for 2007 program is Revolutionizing the Workplace. At UC Davis, employees and their 8 - 12 year old guests are encouraged to participate. Colleges, divisions, and departments are asked to respond positively to requests from campus staff and faculty for tours, demonstrations, job shadowing and the like for youth visiting campus that day. In addition, departments may wish to proactively organize activities for the youth of their employees and highlight examples where policy and practice have enabled faculty and staff to integrate their professional and personal lives. Human Resources: Work Life has coordinated an afternoon of campuswide events. These activities are open to all TODS participants and designed to supplement individual departmental offerings. Release time is appropriate with supervisory approval.
