Career exploration for students across the region!
These free events are an excellent opportunity 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.
This year there are three College & Career Expo events across the region that educators and students can choose to attend. In addition, we are also hosting the 2024 CS & Tech Fair on October 17, concurrently with the College & Career Expo at Big Bend Community College. During registration, you will have the opportunity to select which events you would like to attend this fall.

Three college and career exploration events designed for high school students, college students, and recent graduates!
At the event educators and local industry professionals come together to introduce students to work experiences that engage, train and inspire them for the 21st-century workforce that is in demand by regional employers.
In addition to connecting with colleges and industry professionals, students who attend the expos will get to engage in hands-on work based activities, explore workplace tools and equipment and learn from real job descriptions.
We encourage high schools and teachers to consider sending their students to this event to assist with their career exploration! Schools are invited to attend one, two, or all three of the events.
Please note: Schools are required to bring at minimum 1 chaperone per every 10 students registered. Chaperones must accompany students for the duration of the event. Chaperones play a crucial role in ensuring a safe and productive environment; therefor, they must accompany students throughout the event.
If you are a school administrator or teacher and would like to learn more about the benefits of sending your students to this event, please contact Tami McBride at the NCESD.

Thank You to Our Partners
Join us as an exhibitor & connect with students from NCW!
The College & Career Expos are a great opportunity for regional educational institutions and businesses to connect with young adults from across Chelan, Douglas, Okanogan and Grant counties.
Businesses, educational institutions, training programs, and student support services are all encouraged to participate at the event as exhibitors. Exhibitors are able to 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.
There is no cost for organizations and companies to participate in just one expo or multiple expos, but exhibitors are required to have at least one representative available at the booth for the entire duration of the event.
