On October 28, 2022, students from more than 25 schools will gather at SCTCC to participate in EPIC (Exploring Potential Interests & Careers), a career exploration event for high schoolers in Central Minnesota.
EPIC events and resources are designed to effectively bridge the gap between education and industry for high school students in Central Minnesota, contributing to the fulfillment of the economic and workforce needs of the area. The unique format of EPIC allows students to participate in hands-on, interactive experiences that simulate activities from a variety of careers. Students will also learn the educational requirements and potential job market forecast for various careers.
Six career clusters are showcased, including: Human Services; Health, Science & Technology; Engineering, Manufacturing & Technology; Arts, Communications & Information Systems; Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources; and Business, Management & Administration.
Students have the opportunity to participate in a pre-event survey, designed to help them discover the top career clusters best-suited to their particular interests and personalities.
After the event, adults may participate in an EPIC for Influencers event, which is similar in format to the student event but designed to help adults who support Central Minnesota high school students in the process of discovering potential career paths via in-depth, interactive conversations with a wide variety of professional representatives. Local industry and educational organizations will be available to answer questions and share information. EPIC for Influencers will be on Tuesday, November 15, from 5-7 p.m. at SCTCC.
