Career GPS was a 2 day long college
and job fair for middle and high school students. The event was held at Cal
Expo. It featured over 150 exhibits and 11 industry sectors. Over the 2 days
more than 7500 students attended from middle and high schools alike. I spoke to
Ashleigh Stayton, the exhibit coordinator; she informed me that there were a
few changes that happened this year that we had not seen in previous years. For
example, there is a new app you can download that has information like a list
of schools attending and, vendors attending and a survey you can take based on your experience
at the event. I spoke to a student Dallin, who attends Heritage Peak Charter
School, he told me that he aspired to be an engineer and came to Career GPS to
see what other job opportunities are available. In his words he thought the
event was “pretty good.” Overall this
event it was very successful and I had a great time myself capturing these
moments and seeing teenagers take control of their future. I recommend that any
student who wishes to have a career after high school should attend Career GPS.
