Students from Buncombe County Center for Career Innovation (BCCI) explored future career possibilities during a field trip to the Western North Carolina Ag Center for the Career Expo. 

Throughout the event, students had the opportunity to meet with industry professionals from a wide variety of career fields, ask questions about different professions, and learn about employment opportunities available throughout Western North Carolina. 

In addition to discovering potential career paths, students practiced valuable networking skills by introducing themselves to employers. These real-world conversations helped students build confidence while gaining insight into the knowledge, skills, and experiences needed to succeed in today’s workforce. 

The Career Expo provided a meaningful opportunity for students to connect classroom learning with future career goals, helping them take another step toward becoming career-ready graduates.
