Current and potential MJC students, local high school students, parents/guardians and community members can explore career building programs, experience hands-on activities, gain employability skills and network with industries throughout the region at the CTE Open House.

Businesses can gain visibility, increase their campus brand and meet potential employees as they interact with the students who are exploring employment and internship opportunities. Participants come eager to learn the necessary skills local companies require, network with business representatives and learn what they have to offer.

The event showcases a variety of employment opportunities available in local industries and businesses serving the Central Valley, including agriculture, health care, business, manufacturing and more.
