Career Expos

Spring & Fall

The Youthentity Career Expos connect students in the Roaring Fork and Colorado River valleys, from Aspen to DeBeque, with career providers to learn about career pathways and preparation needed while they explore the multitude of opportunities in the valley. The Spring Expo is held in Glenwood Springs, and the Fall Expo is held in Rifle.

To prepare for the expos, students complete a career interest profile to help identify and match with organizations and businesses attending the Expo. Students use the Career Expo mobile event app to plan their time at the expo and talk to exhibitors, learning what it takes to be successful in that career field. This could include two- or four-year college degrees, advanced degrees, apprenticeships, trade schools or on the job training. Students will be able to stay connected to exhibitors through the app and view opportunities from participating organizations throughout the year.

  • I never Imagined I’d fall in love with the culinary world...cooking became more than a skill. It became a language of care and connection."

    — Ananda Lavender, Culinary Arts and Competition student

  • Before Youthentity, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do after high school. Working hands-on with the pets in our Animal Care class showed me how rewarding it is to help animals and gain trust. Now I know I want to work with them every day.

    —Emily, Former Animal Care Student

  • "I got the chance to lead the Youthentity Works Program, and it such a cool experience. It pushed me to grow my culinary skills way more than I expected. I learned how to price and sell our products to make a profit, which felt amazing. I got to talk with real customers, practice my sales pitch, and see people get excited about what we created. It showed me what I’m capable of.”

    —Alice Cleaver, Youthentity Intern
