Envision Youth Career Expo for Employers

Apr 8, 2026

Connect with Students. Build Your Future Workforce.

The Envision Youth Career Expo connects Rockingham County employers with local students through interactive, hands‑on career experiences. Hosted by Rockingham Community College in partnership with Rockingham County Schools and Economic Development, Envision helps strengthen the local talent pipeline.


What Is the Envision Career Expo?

A young female student uses a miter saw under the watchful eye of an adult, as an adult and two students watch something else in the background.

Envision is a student‑focused career exploration event, not a traditional job fair. Employers engage students through interactive activities that showcase career pathways, skills, and real‑world applications within their industry.
