MiCareerQuest Southeast
MiCareerQuest Southeast is the region’s largest hands-on career exploration event for high school students — designed to inspire the next generation of talent by bringing careers to life in an exciting, interactive way.
Each year, approximately 8,000 students from Oakland, Macomb, Monroe, Wayne, Washtenaw, and Livingston counties attend to explore high-demand career pathways and connect directly with industry professionals. Students have the opportunity to see, touch, and experience the tools, technology, equipment, and skills used every day in today’s workforce.
More than just a career event, MiCareerQuest helps students connect classroom learning to real-world careers while discovering future opportunities such as internships, apprenticeships, job shadowing, training programs, and more.
Organizations from the Advanced Manufacturing, Technology, Health Science, and Construction industries are invited to participate as exhibitors and help inspire the future workforce through engaging, hands-on activities and demonstrations.
Exhibitor participation is completely free of charge. We simply ask companies to share their time, expertise, and enthusiasm in helping students explore exciting career possibilities and better understand the pathways available to them.
