MiCareerQuest Southwest introduces its first-ever “Family Night,” an extension to the annual event that sees over 4,000 eighth graders. Students interact with local professionals and participate in activities that open their eyes to opportunities for great careers in Southwest Michigan. This year, MiCareerQuest is adding a fun, hands-on experience where families also have the opportunity to engage with representatives of local businesses in the region’s high-growth industries. We’re inviting businesses to host an event booth, enthusiastic individuals to volunteer, and families to pre-register for this event.

Join us on Tuesday, October 24, from 3:30 to 6 p.m. at the Kalamazoo County Expo Center and enjoy family fun, giveaways, and the grand unveiling of KRESA Career Connect’s new Discovery Lab!
