Invest in Tomorrow's Talent
Career Quest is a dynamic, hands-on career exploration event that brings together over 3,500 7th grade students from across the region to meet local employers and discover the careers that power their hometown. Through interactive exhibits and engaging activities, students get an unforgettable first look at the industries and opportunities right in their backyard. This is more than just a field trip—it’s an investment in the future workforce. While the return isn’t immediate, the impact is long-lasting: the connections made now help inspire students to stay, learn, and work locally. If businesses want to ensure they have the talent they need tomorrow, they must start planting the seeds today. Career Quest is your chance to spark interest, build awareness, and be a part of shaping the pipeline of future workers who will keep our region thriving.
Career Quest would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors.
