The 2nd Annual North Florida Worlds of Work (WOW) Career Expo will was held on Thursday, October 24 and Friday, October 25, 2024, on the campuses of Tallahassee State College and Lively Technical College. Worlds of Work, or “WOW” is a two-day immersive and interactive experience for ninth graders from across the region including Leon, Gadsden, Wakulla, Jefferson and Franklin counties.
The Expo featured ten industry-specific worlds of opportunities to life for over 3,000 ninth grade students, teachers, and parents in our area.
The North Florida Worlds of Work expo was introduced in 2023 after local officials with the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce, the Leon County School Board, and economic development organizations visited a similar operation in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
WOW is an educational and hands-on opportunity for students to familiarize themselves with a broad overview of career opportunities. The expo includes “worlds,” representing industry sectors, that students will explore through exciting activities. WOW exists to encourage, inspire, and inform students, parents, and educators of high-demand, high-wage career options in the North Florida region and to better prepare students for life after high school.
