MiCareerQuest West Central
To explore careers, schools and programs in Michigan to find the education or career path right for you, visit Pathfinder!
MiCareerQuest West Central is the premiere hands-on career-exploration and college-readiness event for high school students in our area! This year, we hosted nearly 1,417 students from 20 different high schools across six counties!
All ninth-grade students from across our region had the opportunity to meet and speak with 71 employers and training providers at Ferris State University's Wink Arena! The goal of MiCareerQuest is to give students the opportunity to take part in hands-on activities to spark their career curiosities!
This year's MiCareerQuest was a great day, and very rewarding! Check out some of the pictures from the event below, and the video highlight on the left!
Special thanks to our exhibitors, volunteers and generous sponsors for supporting MiCareerQuest West Central! We could not have had such a successful event without you! Thank you!
