The University of Alaska Fairbanks Tanana Valley Campus, Fairbanks North Star Borough School District and Alaska Department of Labor will hold the second-annual Career Tech Expo, Saturday, Feb. 17 from 10 a.m.- 2 p.m. at the James T.

The expo highlights February as National Career and Technical Education Month and showcases the numerous educational and career opportunities available in technical-related fields.

Last year, more than 400 middle and high school students and their parents came to the expo to speak with employers and industry representatives from around the state about potential career paths. They also visited faculty, toured shops and classrooms, and participated in a variety of exciting hands-on activities. The event is open to all middle and high school students and their parents in the Fairbanks North Star Borough and will feature a variety of hands-on activities and door prizes, including iPods and movie tickets.
