Highly interactive career exploration!
Hundreds of businesses, agencies, and education volunteers work together to provide this opportunity. Last year, we featured over 180 career exhibitors between both locations. Students will be able to spend time in the career exhibit area visiting industry professionals and college instructors. Adult Basic Education and Workforce Center Participants are also invited to attend the Career Expo. Students and attendees will explore career fields in the following primary areas:
- Agriculture, Food, & Natural Resources
- Arts/Communications & Information Systems
- Business, Management, & Administration
- Engineering Manufacturing & Technology
- Health Science Technology
- Human Services
Last year over 2,200 students from area high schools were registered to attend both locations' Expo, along with college students from Minnesota West Community & Technical College and SMSU.
We hope to give attendees the opportunity to gain information about different careers, investigate careers that align with their interests and skills, improve job-seeking skills, and become more aware of the career opportunities right here in Southwest Minnesota.
Join us and make 2023 our best year yet!
