MiCareerQuest West Central 2021

April 19, 2021

MiCareerQuest West Central 2021 is here!!

MiCareerQuest West Central is the premiere hands-on career-exploration and college-readiness event for high school students in our area! 


Although we're not able to host an in-person event this year, we're still excited to bring information about high-growth careers, employers and education paths available in our region! This year we created four industry-sector videos that will be viewed by students in Lake, Mason, Mecosta, Newaygo, Oceana and Osceola counties.


To view this year's videos, click the following links to the different industry sectors.


The Michigan Education and Career Pathfinder tool provides information to students, parents and educators to make informed choices about education and career options, as well as help with creation of educational development plans. This free tool uses current labor market information, longitudinal wage data and other institutional data and metrics, allowing improved skills-matching to career paths and jobs.


Special thanks to our participating employers and generous sponsors!
