The Worlds of Work Career Expo is a fun, hands-on opportunity for students to learn about high-demand, high-wage career opportunities available close to home, while also addressing workforce needs in the region.

Interactive displays from local companies and organizations will be on site, featuring industries such as agriculture, construction, business/finance, communications/marketing, cybersecurity/information technology, education/training, energy/utilities, healthcare, public safety, modern manufacturing and transportation/ logistics.
“We are so appreciative of our WOW partners, exhibitors and volunteers for their dedication to local students,’’ says Executive Director of North AlabamaWorks Stephanie McCulloch. “Whether it is teaching a student about an in-demand career option or connecting the employers with the younger generation, this event will make a difference in the Cullman County community.”
