Urbana High School students attended the Champaign County Career Expo on November 3 at the Champaign County Fairgrounds, joining students from area schools for an opportunity to explore career options and connect with local businesses and organizations.

Designed specifically for high school freshmen and sophomores, the expo provided students with hands-on activities and demonstrations intended to introduce them to a variety of career paths. Local businesses and organizations shared information about their industries, demonstrated job-related skills, and helped students learn more about the education and training needed for different careers.

Experiences like the Career Expo give students an opportunity to explore interests, ask questions, and consider possibilities for their futures. By connecting students with local employers and career opportunities, the event helped bring classroom learning into a real-world setting.
