ROC CTEC

What an incredible day at the Kern County Career & STEM Expo! 🎉

We were proud to welcome over 3,400 students who had the opportunity to explore more than 100 hands-on exhibits, sparking curiosity and inspiring future career pathways in STEM and beyond.

A huge thank you to Chevron, KCSOS, and all of our amazing sponsors; this event truly would not have been possible without your generous support and commitment to our students and community.

We’re also incredibly proud of our very own ROC CTEC programs, which were actively involved in showcasing their pathways and engaging students throughout the event. Your passion and dedication made a lasting impact! .drone.operator

A special thank you to our Digital Marketing program for capturing event coverage and helping ensure everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. Your work helped share this experience with an even wider audience.
To our ambassadors and volunteers, thank you for your time, energy, and enthusiasm in helping everything run seamlessly.

We’d also like to acknowledge our Culinary and Baking program and the Journey Career Center for offering food for sale during the event, helping keep attendees energized throughout the day. Additionally, our Small Business program students showcased and sold products from their own businesses. What an inspiring display of entrepreneurship! .smallbusiness

We’re already looking forward to next year! 🙌
