Save the date! The 17th annual NW Youth Careers Expo will take place March 16-17, 2021 as a virtual event. 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.

The nonprofit Portland Workforce Alliance organizes the event. The Expo's goals are to connect employers to their future workforce and help students make informed, inspired decisions about their education after high school -- whether they choose a four-year university, community college or apprenticeship training center.
