Join Us!

Join us for the 3rd Annual "Momma I Don't Want to Go to College!" Skills & Trade Career Expo/Job Fair, an event aimed at educating and exposing the community to alternative paths to success that do not require a college degree. Our vendors will provide valuable information on training and certification programs, on-the-job training, skills and trade positions, apprenticeships, and other blue-collar jobs. This year's theme honors the life and legacy of Nipsey Hussle's "Too Big to Fail" and focuses on economic mobility in a post-COVID-19 world.
