Why Participate?

Grow your own workforce

We shop locally and eat locally. Why not hire locally? Invest today in young people who will become the workforce for tomorrow. Retirements are looming, recruitment is fierce, and many Oregon businesses need to strengthen and diversify their local pipeline of talent. The Expo lets you invest in your future workforce.

Support Oregon education

Oregon's high schools are full of promising and capable young people, but our state has one of the nation’s lowest graduation rates and a below-average per-capita income. Help inspire our students to graduate and find well-paying jobs by showing them pathways to great careers.

Showcase your company

The Expo attracts more than 6,500 students from about 70+ high schools in Oregon and Southwest Washington. It draws 190+ exhibitors, including the region’s most dynamic employers. Political leaders, business owners, educators and the media come, too. Don’t be left out!
