Career and education expo in Whitecourt

3rd Annual Career and Education Expo aims to retain youth in our community and connect people of all ages with local employers, career and training opportunities.

Last year the Career and Education Expo saw over 1,000 students gain awareness of career options from 38 employers in our region as well as 26 post-secondary institutions from across the province showcasing education and training options. This Expo also welcomed over 300 general public who had the opportunity to explore employment and training options. Exhibitors reported they received over 100 resumes. The success of this event in our community is expected to continue when it returns September 23, 2016.

“Students benefit from exposure to the opportunities that currently exist in their hometown. The goal of this Expo is to showcase these opportunities with the hope that youth will choose to remain in the area and contribute to our local economy.” – Woodlands County Mayor, Jim Rennie

The Career and Education Expo is open to anyone who is looking for further education, or ways to build their career. This FREE event showcases local career options for individuals of all ages looking to increase their skills and discover locally where they can put those skills to good use.

“We want to show our younger demographic that they don’t have to move away from their friends and family, and the place they call home, to land their dream job.” Whitecourt Mayor, Maryann Chichak
