2023 CTE Expo
The Career and Technical Education (CTE) Expo introduces Bedford County Public Schools 7th graders (all ~700 of them!) to technical education opportunities and careers in trades, agriculture, machinery, utilities, medicine, cybersecurity, cosmetology, culinary, etc. Students will learn about various educational and career opportunities, tour Susie G facilities, participate in interactive activities organized by participating businesses, and speak with a variety of educators, peers, and professionals.
Learn about CTE at this link. Learn about Susie G Gibson Science & Technology Center at this link.
Exhibiting Businesses
We invite any interested businesses or professionals with a technical aspect to their work to participate. Bedford Chamber members can participate for free, as well as any non-member businesses who help us represent the Susie G pathways (see bottom of the page for more info). We ask that any businesses who are interested but not a member or aligned with the Susie G pathways to please complete a registration fee of $60.
We will provide 1 lunch per exhibitor and snacks will be available all day. Some exhibitors will be inside and some will be outside, depending on your business category.
Anyone who is interested in participating must reach out to Foster Garrett, Director of Marketing & Events, at marketing@baccva.org to register.
