Youth Career Fest
About
The Youth Career Fest, hosted by the Austin Youth Council, is an annual event organized by Youth Initiatives that brings together high school students from across the Austin area for hands-on career exploration. Austin Youth Council is a group of high school students who represent the voice of youth in local government by learning about city government and meeting with policymakers and administrators.
Youth Career Fest
Since 2013, the Austin Youth Council has hosted the Youth Career Fest to provide students with a day to explore their career and higher educational interests. As one of the largest Career Fests in the city, we have hosted more than 200+ vendors from diverse career fields, with over 3000+ attendees from the greater Austin area.
The goal of this event is to provide students with exposure to different career sectors, college opportunities, and to equip them with the knowledge, connections and experience to find their path after graduation. Students can expect to network with career representatives and hear from keynote speakers representing Austin.
