2024 Career Convention

The Benton County High School Career Convention is a partnership between the Corvallis School District 509J, Oregon State University's College of Business (COB), Austin Entrepreneurship Program (AEP), Benton County High Schools, Corvallis Public Schools Foundation, and Corvallis Chamber of Commerce.

As a junior, this is the time of your life when you should begin to explore what you are interested in and begin planning the steps to reach that career profession. By Fall of your senior year, you should begin applying for a school of choice, apprenticeship, gap year, or getting your soft skills in place to begin work.

If you are a senior and wish to graduate by the end of first semester, you must get your career paperwork turned in and it is completed correctly by the end of first semester. You CANNOT graduate without your state career requirements completed. Check with your school counselor on what that looks like this year.

Good luck! For any questions, check with your school counselor.

Volunteers for Convention

We are seeking community members to get involved in this important event for eleventh grade students across our region. Volunteers can participate by:

  • Mock interviewing students
  • Participating in a career panel
  • Checking in and directing students
  • Being a community partner at a booth/table who can share services and opportunities with students (such as social services, internship or summer employment opportunities)
