Career Focus Event
2027 Career Focus Event
SAVE THE DATE – Tuesday, April 27th, and Wednesday, April 28th
The Career Focus Event
Sponsored by the UCS Foundation in partnership with Sterling Heights Regional Chamber of Commerce and Utica Community Schools, the purpose of the Career Focus Event 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.
Thank you to the 31st Annual Career Focus Event Sponsors
