Adams County Education Consortium Career Expo
November 9, 2023 @ 7:00 am - 2:00 pm
8th Grade Career Expo
The 8th Grade Career Expo serves as the pivotal introduction for students to professionals representing career options in Colorado’s Industry Career Cluster. The Consortium takes this approach because exposure events starting at 8th grade are critical, as research shows middle school is the strongest time in education for career guidance. Career exposure helps with goal setting and transitioning to high school and helps prevent disengagement in education that is often prevalent at the transition from middle to high school.
Date: Thursday, November 9, 2023, 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Location: National Western Complex – 4655 Humboldt St., Denver, CO 80216
FORMAT
5,000-6,000 8th graders from 8 school districts in Adams County will participate. Students will arrive in 3-4 60-minute waves throughout the day.

The event provides an engaging environment for companies/higher education intuitions to shape students’ career choices and position them for opportunity.
