Clackamas Youth Career Expo

February 22nd, 2018 from 8:30 am – 12:00 pm

Randall Gym at Clackamas Community College in Oregon City

Each February C-TEC Youth Services partners with Clackamas Community College (CCC) and the Clackamas Workforce Partnership to host the Clackamas Youth Career Expo. The Career Expo takes place at Clackamas Community College and runs in conjunction with the Clackamas Regional Skills Competition.  Approximately 1200 high school students from all corners of Clackamas County are on campus for a day full of fun, competition, and exploration.

While at the Career Expo, youth have the opportunity to:

  • Explore many different career paths and talk with people who are currently in those fields
  • Find out about high growth, high wage companies and industries in Clackamas County
  • Ask employers about the qualities and qualifications they are looking for in employees
  • Speak with colleges and training programs to learn more about the programs they have to offer
  • Hear about career opportunities through the military
  • Participate in hands-on activities that highlight different career options
  • Learn more about apprenticeships- what are they and how to get started

We are always looking for employers, training programs, schools, and professional organizations who would like to host a table. The Clackamas Career Expo is a wonderful opportunity for businesses to get their name out and for youth to explore different career paths. Contact us to register as a vendor, there’s no fee to participate!

This year’s Youth Career Expo will be on February 22nd, 2018 from 8:30 am – 12:00 pm at Randall Gym on the Clackamas Community College campus.
