On Thursday, March 16, more than 1,000 high school juniors from the school districts of West Bend, Slinger, Kewaskum, Hartford, Living Word Lutheran, and Kettle Moraine Lutheran will attend the Washington County College & Career Fair from 8 a.m. - 3 p.m. at the Washington County Fair Park and Conference Center. 

With a “passport” in hand, students will spend an hour and a half discovering information related to their college and career interests by visiting close to 100 booths staffed by representatives from business, industry and post-secondary learning institutions so that they can better understand the connection between school-based learning and the skills required for workplace success.

Public and private universities from across the state along with, technical colleges, trade schools, branches of the military and apprenticeship programs will be at the College & Career Fair to showcase post-secondary learning options. Employers from across the county will also be on hand to represent a variety of careers and skills necessary for career success in their industries.

The Washington County College & Career Fair is hosted by the West Bend School District, in partnership with other area school districts and the Washington County Workforce Alliance. This unique opportunity is designed to engage businesses, industries, and educational institutions with the workforce of the future to support the West Bend School District mission of Preparing All Students for College Readiness AND Career Success.
