MICAREERQUEST NORTHEAST IS…

…a hands-on career readiness event for middle and high school students created to inspire and direct young people to viable careers in high-demand occupations and to address the need for future talent.

MiCareerQuest is an employer-driven event. Employer Champions – assisted by Michigan Works! Northeast Consortium staff – drive employer participation and the creation of student activities/exhibits. There is no cost to students or exhibitors to participate in the event.

​

MiCareerQuest engages students through one-on-one conversations with professionals and hands-on activities that allow students to experience and hopefully, spark an interest in, the various careers. Regional ISDs help to drive student participation.

THE EVENT

Students will rotate through quadrants highlighting four industries: Manufacturing, Construction, Healthcare, and Technology. They will have appx 20 minutes per quadrant to participate in hands-on, interactive exhibits showcasing various occupations and tools-of-the-trade. Students engage in conversations with professionals who do these jobs every day, opening students’ eyes to opportunities for great careers in Northeast Michigan. Participation in all quadrants is mandatory.
