IMPACTING THE COMMUNITY
The first annual CEO EXPO was held in 2011 at Earnest Pruett Center of Technology (EPCOT). Over 600 ninth graders from every school in Jackson County participated. Exhibitors and instructors from the EPCOT classes, as well as several private companies and TVA, set up informational and hands-on activities for the students. After witnessing the success of this hands-on career fair, we believe it is essential that we continue to offer this opportunity to the youth in Jackson County.
Business and industry leaders, workforce development and career representatives, along with school representatives are collaborating and partnering to make this event crucial to influencing the workforce of tomorrow by educating students today on the vast availability of careers in our Northeast Alabama region. The purpose of the Expo is to create awareness about career options among students and educators as well as help give our businesses and industries the skilled workforce needed to sustain and grow. This program is one of the steps in an organized plan of selecting a career and beginning career preparation. We are confident you will agree when you see the program for yourself.
