Humboldt County Office of Education: North Coast College & Career Expo

Why Should I Go? The North Coast College & Career Expo is Humboldt County’s premier opportunity for students and families to explore college and career options—all in one place. This fast-paced, high-impact event brings together college representatives, career pathways, and expert-led workshops designed to help you make informed decisions about your future. Whether you are just beginning to think about college or preparing to apply, this event provides direct access to the information and people who can guide your next steps.

What Will I Get? At the Expo, you will meet with college and career representatives, attend workshops designed for your grade level, and receive personalized information to support your next steps. Whether you are just beginning to explore your options or preparing to apply, you will leave with valuable knowledge and resources. Because the event is designed to support students at every stage, you do not need to experience everything in one evening and can return in future years to continue building your plan.

What Should I Do Before, During, and After?
Before attending, review the workshop schedule and list of participating colleges so you can identify your priorities and come prepared with questions. During the event, attend workshops that match your goals and speak directly with representatives while taking notes on what you learn. After the Expo, take time to review the information you collected, follow up with colleges or programs of interest, and use what you learned to plan your next steps.

Brought to you by North Coast Cal-SOAP, the Expo is designed to support students and families at every stage of the college-going journey. With something new to learn each year, it’s an event you can return to as your goals evolve.
