Fifth grade students learn about different careers.

Physician. Police officer. Carpenter. School counselor. Influencer.

More than 2,400 SPS students from 38 elementary schools met with these professionals – and plenty others – when they visited the Spokane County Fair & Expo Center on Tuesday for our annual Fifth Grade Career Fair.

With presenters from approximately 70 businesses, organizations, colleges, universities, and other institutions sharing about a multitude of career possibilities, this event allows all SPS fifth graders to dream big and consider what steps are needed to achieve their future goals.

Thank you to all who volunteered to share their knowledge and experience with our students, as well as the many SPS counselors, staff, and Zum team who helped make this year’s event a success.
