Exhibitors needed for the 2024 NCW College & Career Expos and CS & Tech Fair

Posted

WENATCHEE — Organizers are seeking exhibitors for the upcoming 2024 College & Career Expos and Computer Science & Tech Fair events across North Central Washington. Businesses, educational institutions, training programs, and student support services are encouraged to participate.

The events, which reached over 2,000 students last year, will be held on three dates:

  • October 17 at Big Bend Community College
  • October 23 at the Okanogan Agri-Plex
  • November 7 at Wenatchee Valley College

The NCW College and Career Expo events offer free opportunities for North Central Washington students to explore colleges and career paths in a condensed timeframe at a single location. These expos aim to introduce students to a variety of work experiences in high-demand fields with regional employers.

New this year is the Computer Science & Tech Fair, which will run concurrently with the October 17 College & Career Expo at Big Bend Community College in Moses Lake. Organizers particularly recommend STEM-related exhibitors consider attending this event due to the anticipated higher student attendance.

The expos are presented by the Apple STEM Network and North Central Educational Service District (NCESD), in collaboration with Wenatchee Valley College, Big Bend Community College, Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, WorkSource, and SkillSource.

Exhibitors are expected to provide hands-on activities, such as allowing students to try on work-related gear or uniforms, displaying workplace tools or equipment, or offering real job descriptions for review.

Participation is free for organizations and companies, but exhibitors must have at least one representative at their booth throughout the entire event. They may choose to attend one or multiple expos.

Interested parties can find more information and register at www.ncesd.org/career-expos. The website also allows students, parents, and teachers to sign up for these free events.
