Grow Arizona Workforce Network hosted its 5th Annual Nextwave Workforce Expo on October 21 at Holbrook High School. This year, in partnership with STEM-sation, a program hosted by Navajo Abandoned Mine Lands in collaboration with Navajo Transitional Energy, the event provided even more hands-on industry experiences for high school students from Holbrook, Winslow, and Joseph City.

The expo brought together 36 industries and more than 500 students, introducing them to a wide range of career opportunities across northern Arizona. Through this initiative, Grow Arizona Workforce Network aims to help students explore potential career paths, understand the education and training required to pursue them, and discover opportunities to achieve their future goals.
