What is CareerQuest?

CareerQuest connects students with hands-on experiences and local industry professionals to help them explore career pathways and plan for life after high school. This is not a typical job fair—CareerQuest engages students in interactive, real-world activities that help them discover whether a career is the right fit for them. Last year’s event brought together hundreds of students and dozens of regional employers, and we look forward to another impactful day this fall.
