Kern County Superintendent of Schools is excited to invite you to the 5th Annual East Kern Career Expo on November 5th at the Mojave Air and Space Port!

This exciting event will bring together East Kern school districts and students in grades 8–12 for a fun, hands-on, interactive experience where students can explore careers, connect with industry professionals, and discover opportunities they may not know exist.

Your partnership makes a difference. By sharing your career, industry, and expertise, you can help students see what is possible and begin connecting the dots between their interests, education, and future careers.

Together, we can engage students, empower their choices, and help them explore a future full of possibilities.
