Career Quest 2025 took place on October 7th and 8th at the Berglund Center where students explored careers that are available in their hometowns after they graduate high school. Schools arrived every 20 minutes and students moved through three (3) zones where they interacted with businesses and talked to them about job opportunities, learned about how they could potentially work while attending school, and explored what kind of careers are waiting for them after they walk across the stage. Students had 20 minutes in each zone, and there were over 60 businesses that students interacted with throughout the two day event. In total, 4,122 students came through the event over the two days.
We need your feedback!
