2026 Future Forward Job & Career Expo

The Future Forward Job & Career Expo was an incredible success, bringing together opportunity, inspiration, and real-world exposure for students across our community.

This year, over 300 students participated in the Expo—each one taking an important step toward exploring their future paths. From career awareness to meaningful conversations with professionals, the event created a space where students could begin to connect their interests with real opportunities.

Throughout the event, students had the chance to engage with a variety of career pathways, ask questions, and gain insight into what it takes to succeed in different fields. More importantly, they were able to see themselves in those spaces—an essential part of building confidence and motivation for the future.

At High Point Schools Partnership, we believe exposure leads to opportunity. Events like the Future Forward Expo help bridge the gap between education and the workforce by ensuring students have access to experiences that expand their vision and support their goals.

This event was made possible because of our incredible sponsors and partners who helped support and bring it to life.

A special thank you to Truliant Federal Credit Union for your support in making this event possible.

Thank you to our co-hosts, Guilford County Schools CTE and City of High Point Community and Neighborhood Development Department, as well as our partner Shifted Scholars, for working together to create meaningful pathways for student success.

We are grateful to everyone who helped make this event possible and look forward to continuing this work to support and empower students across our community.
