Representatives from local businesses, state agencies, colleges, and the military were on hand, showcasing opportunities across multiple fields and industries.
Organizers say the annual career fair continues to play an important role in bridging the gap between education and the workforce. By exposing students to real-world career options at an early age, the event aims to help them make more informed decisions about their futures while also strengthening the region’s workforce pipeline.
