The South Texas Career EXPO differs from a traditional "College Day" program. The program involves a hands-on, browse format for specific career disciplines in which actual instructors, business or industry personnel, present demonstrations. The goal is to provide a more comprehensive overview of the required course work and future career opportunities. Presenters who bring actual equipment and resources to demonstrate are extremely successful in attracting students to their program.

The goal of the South Texas Career EXPO is to educate students, parents, and communities to the reality of tomorrow's career market. Too often a student ends up in a degree program or with a completed degree that does not lead to their desired career. The purpose of the South Texas Career EXPO is to give student's a "picture" of technical and other demonstrable careers and a better understanding of what each career entails.
