Dear Corporate Partners,
Building the future of our workforce begins earlier than you think. ICPF is excited to share the release of a New Employer Toolkit: Plan a Day of Career Exploration designed to help our partners introduce elementary and middle school students to our industry in a structured, engaging way.
This ready-to-use resource equips your team with the necessary tools to deliver a meaningful learning experience that connects sustainability, career planning, teamwork, and real-world problem solving.
In this toolkit, you will find:
- A step-by-step lesson plan to engage students across grade levels
- Resources that highlight sustainability and diverse career pathways in corrugated packaging
- An activity that allows students to design/build with corrugated materials
- Printable worksheets and teaching tools

Download the attached toolkit or access it for free on ICPF’s website here.
Early exposure builds awareness. Awareness builds a strong workforce. By leveraging this toolkit, your organization can support career development professionals in your area, strengthen school partnerships, and increase the visibility of #careersincorrugated to students in various stages of learning.
We encourage you to share this resource with your recruitment teams and/or community outreach staff. Whether you’re hosting career days or scheduling classroom visits, this tool makes your planning simple and impactful.
If you have questions, or would like support initiating outreach in your area, the ICPF team is here to help.
Sincerely,
Caitlin Salaverria
ICPF President
