The 11th annual Youth Career Opportunity Expo is set to take place tomorrow at Portage Collegiate in partnership with the City of Portage. City Manager Dale Lyle says the event is sponsored by CFRY/Mix/Portage Online and the MB Department of Children and Youth Opportunities. Lyle notes there will be approximately 3o businesses set up in the main gym and everyone is welcome to attend. Lyle explains there's two primary objectives to the expo one is to provide information to people about what's available and the other is to provide exposure about the benefits and potential careers in this area. He adds there is a lot of opportunity in Portage and surrounding area and they'd like to see our youth stay after they graduate.
The event runs from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
