Career Expo 2024 - Explore!
SW MN Workforce Development Board and the Southwest Initiative Foundation present the Career Expo Event to be held from 9:15 a.m. to 12:25 p.m. on:
Tuesday, September 24, 2024 - Southwest Minnesota State University, Marshall
Wednesday, September 25, 2024 - Minnesota West Community and Technical College, Worthington
Highly interactive career exploration!
Hundreds of businesses, agencies, and education volunteers work together to provide
this opportunity. Last year, we featured around 150 career exhibitors between both
locations. Students can 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, 2,100 students from 39 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 allow attendees 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 2024 our best year yet!
