Over 2,000 regional students explore job pathways at Career Venture 2025
June 10, 2025
Local employers expected to interact with over 2,000 regional students throughout the day on Thursday, at an event that has been going on in the region for roughly 25 years.
Though the partnerships and connections have existed beforehand, this also marks the first year that the hands-on Career Venture event is hosted by the Guidance, Education and Readiness (GEAR) Program.
“It’s our first year, but it’s a long-staying event for middle schoolers in the area,” said Anthony Goettl, director of the GEAR Program at Northwood Technical College. “We welcome this year 26 school districts and over 2,100 middle school students for a pre-professional exposure event. They come and they get to take part in as many hands-on activities across a variety of career clusters.”
