The event includes a tour of the facility, highlighting some programs they offer. Students will also interact with exhibitors, such as local companies, educational institutions, and training programs. This year, professional headshots and a career exploration drop-in session will also be available. The event is FREE to attend. Lunch and transportation are provided.

Are you interested in being an exhibitor at Great Careers? Visit the exhibitor registration website if you own or work for a local organization that would like to talk with students about careers that can be pursued through any of the following post-high school pathways: apprenticeships, certifications and licenses, military service, trade or technical programs, two-year college programs, or entering the workforce. Keep in mind, this is not a Hiring Fair; it is an exploration event providing students with the opportunity to learn more about a variety of careers.

The flyer is available translated into 8 languages ​​online​​.

Great Careers is an annual event hosted by the Issaquah School District in partnership with the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce, Issaquah Schools Foundation, City of Issaquah, and three local educational institutions: Bellevue College, Renton Technical College, and Lake Washington Institute of Technology.
