The Expo is going virtual! Register today for the 17th annual NW Youth Careers Expo, taking place March 16-17, 2021. The Expo will look different this year, but our shared goals are the same: Support and inspire high school students on their career journey and connect the region’s leading employers with their future workforce.

The 2021 Expo will feature a virtual Exhibit Hall where students and educators can “visit” booths to learn about different organizations. Exhibitors can share materials and videos about their workplace, and they can host chats to answer questions. In the virtual auditorium, students can hear Career Talks and engage with professionals. Students and educators will have full access to the Virtual Expo for up to one month after the event.
