MAA Supports Career Quest 2024: Connecting Over 5,000 Students with Hands-On Career Exploration
MAA has recently received information about an upcoming Career Quest event, scheduled for Tuesday, November 19, 2024, at the Suburban Collection Showplace.
This unique, hands-on career exploration event is the largest of its kind in the region, drawing over 5,000 high school students from Oakland, Macomb, Monroe, Wayne, Washtenaw, and Livingston counties. Career Quest offers students the opportunity to explore various industries and career paths, providing them with valuable insight and experience as they plan for their futures.
MiCareerQuest Southeast offers students the chance to explore a variety of rewarding career paths. They’ll engage directly with industry professionals and get hands-on experience with the tools, equipment, and technology used in today’s in-demand jobs.
