Hosted at Lake Washington Institute of Technology, the event includes campus tours and a high-energy career expo where businesses can engage directly with students, educators, and community partners. Participating organizations gain visibility, strengthen their future workforce pipeline, and demonstrate their commitment to workforce development and the local community.
