We invite you to join us as we inspire the dreams of our future workforce. This is your opportunity to have your business impact youth in our community.

Local businesses will be able to show students real life experience within a field based on their individual interest from one of the 12 sectors of business and industry. We know that when we spark the interest and dreams of a youth early in his or her educational path, we build a direct connection to opportunities that exist right here in their own hometown.

Research tells us, by 6th grade, a student is already determining their future. By 8th grade, they are seeking guidance and information on what they can do to reach their goals. If a student has something that is tangible and seen as a reward for hard work and effort, he or she is able to build a plan to achieve their dreams.

The Inspire Youth Inspire Dreams Expo is only the start of paving the way for college and career training. Modesto City Schools will be showcasing their diverse and amazing Career Technical Education pathways. This showcases a wide array of rigorous and relevant Career Technical Education programs which combines academic knowledge with technical skills and application of learning in hands-on, real-life contexts to prepare students with viable skills for today’s increasingly complex workforce. Students can expect to receive support through extension opportunities in high school that focus their
identified interests.

The final destination will be each student’s preparedness for pursuing their passion by moving into a career training program and/or college. Through the Inspire Youth Inspire Dreams Expo, our goal is to facilitate each and every participating student in recognizing his or her interests and discovering the opportunity to build their future in Modesto, CA.
