“The Expo is for current high school or college students, parents, guidance counselors, and teachers. It is an interactive way to introduce interested parties to the building trades, and more importantly, outline the career potential that exists outside of the traditional collegiate path,” said PowerForward DuPage Executive Director Karyn M. Charvat.

Educators who want to involve their school, contact PowerForward DuPage at 630-791-2660.
