2025 Career Focus
The Career Focus Event is sponsored by the UCS Foundation in partnership with Sterling Heights Regional Chamber of Commerce and Utica Community Schools. Its purpose is to introduce students entering young adulthood to a variety of career options and provide a memorable experience.
How to get involved:
Be a sponsor and share your expertise with students. The event allows business and community mentors to share both post-secondary and career experiences with UCS sixth-grade students. The student will also be waiting to share their own dreams and aspirations with you, their professional role model for the session.
