The expo will serve as an introduction to the college search and application process. Students and families will learn about academic programs, campus life, and financial aid opportunities.

The FBCTC College and Career Expo expands the traditional “college fair” format by connecting future and current college students with companies offering career resources, such as mentoring and internships.

A representative from Google will conduct a workshop focused on “Career trends to meet current job opportunities”.

For students interested in pursuing a trade or starting a business, the event offers networking opportunities with professionals from various occupations.

Organizations specializing in vocational training and workforce development will be present to showcase career options that students may not have considered, including public safety, healthcare, skilled trades (barbers, cosmetologists), and entrepreneurship.
