Background

This is not a hiring event. The Colorado Youth Career Fair, formerly the Colorado Virtual Career Fair, is an educational event intended to expose youth to a broad range of career fields and to hear stories of what careers are and how different career journeys have been traveled.

Our story

The Colorado Youth Career Fair began with a collaborative vision to utilize virtual engagement to foster equity and youth access. Career panels are based upon Colorado's career cluster model and are representative of diverse groups of professionals within those careers.

With equity as a guiding principle, and leveraging strong industry relationships, the Colorado Association for Career and Technical Education (CACTE) and the Colorado State Youth Council (SYC), along with other key collaborators, have come together to connect youth as a state-wide community.

* ASL, Spanish translation, and closed captioning available.

** Career sessions are recorded and accessible for future career activities and for Meaningful Career Conversations. It is our hope that educators, parents/guardians, and students can use these - and this event - for many meaningful conversations.
