Career Expo
2026-10-22
9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Each year more than 1,000 students from at least 25 area schools have attended the event.
The goal of the Career Expo is to expose students, along with educators, parents, and community members, to the technical skills needed to be successful in business and industry. We hope to educate the participants about the variety of opportunities in the area with hands-on activities representative of the skills necessary for the many career options.
There is no cost to participate in the Career Expo. We hope to generate a great deal of excitement with big machines, exciting exhibits, and hands-on experiences which will impress the participants of the Career Expo. These displays and demonstrations will be an excellent opportunity to show off the tools of the trade.
