The NCW College and Career Expo events are free opportunities for North Central Washington students to explore colleges and career opportunities in just a few hours at one location. Educators and local industry professionals will introduce students to a wide variety of work experiences that engage, train and inspire future careers in high-demand fields with regional employers.

“We know that our students benefit most from early and frequent participation in high-quality career connected learning opportunities as they prepare to enter the workforce,” said Tami McBride, Career Connected Specialist at NCESD. “We are excited to be back in person this year and expand the event regionally to offer students opportunities to participate in one of three regional locations.”

Businesses, educational institutions, training programs, and student support services are all encouraged to participate at the event as exhibitors. Exhibitors can attend any or all events. During the expo, exhibitors will need to provide a hands-on activity such as allowing students to try on gear/uniforms, displaying tools or equipment used in the workplace and/or providing real job descriptions for review. Participating students will have the ability to explore different booths and connect with exhibitors of interest.
