CAREER EXPOS 

Careers Expos are great opportunities for students and their families to seek help and explore possibilities. With most of these being cancelled last year it is highly recommended that students and parents take advantage of either the virtual or face-to face opportunities offered this year. Careers expos are events where industries, employers and recruiters are able to share information with students who are all potential employees.
