The Charleston Metro Chamber invites local businesses to make a lasting impact at the upcoming Trident Regional Career Exploration Fair. Scheduled for Tuesday, March 4, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., this annual event, held at the Charleston Area Convention Center, connects hundreds of students from Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties with potential career pathways.

This interactive event empowers students to explore careers that align with their interests and shape their middle and high school curriculums. The hands-on experience offers them a glimpse into the education and training needed for future success after graduation.

The Chamber is calling on businesses to host interactive displays that go beyond static exhibits. By providing engaging, hands-on activities, companies can inspire students to envision themselves in various roles within diverse industries.
