UCPS High School Program Expo

The Department of Career Readiness, also know as Career and Technical Education (CTE), hosts an annual UCPS High School Program Expo on the first Saturday in December. The purpose of this expo is to allow middle and high school students and parents the opportunity to learn more about CTE Pathway Options as well as other areas of interest in our district. Students will use Major Clarity to deep dive into Career possibilities and build Career and Course Plans.
