Excitement Builds for Career Jam Explore—Nearly 2,400 Students Registered!



We’re thrilled to announce our upcoming Career Jam Explore events:

● October 4th at Tec-Smart in Malta

● October 16th at Hudson Valley Community College

Career Jam is workforce development in action, and with nearly 2,400 students signed up, these events present an incredible opportunity to connect, inspire, and empower the future workforce.

Thanks to a generous grant from Saratoga County, many local students can attend free of charge.

We extend many thanks to Siemens, our Community Impact Partner, whose support has helped Career Jam thrive and expand in the Capital Region—especially as we’ve returned to in-person events over the last few years.

There’s still time to get involved! Schools can register their 8th and 9th-grade students for this unique, hands-on experience, and businesses are invited to join as exhibitors and sponsors.

Don’t miss the chance to:

● Connect with the next generation of talent

● Network with educators and industry leaders

● Help retain our region’s brightest minds

Register now on our website! Workforce Development | Career Jam (career-jam.com)

For more information or to get involved, contact Aarika Van Amburgh, Owner & Chief Community Engagement Officer, at [email protected]

Together, we empower students to imagine their future, build a stronger local workforce, and make a lasting impact!
