Largest Career Fair In Central Texas Slated In Round Rock

ROUND ROCK, TX — The largest college and career fair in Central Texas is scheduled to take place later this month, organizers said.

More than 200 college and university representatives from across the country, many local employers — with some even offering financial support for continuing education — and branches of the armed forces will be represented at the employment event set for Monday, Sept. 23 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Round Rock High School, 201 Deep Wood Dr.

The fair provides students information about their higher education or post-graduation choices, an opportunity to learn more about admissions, financial aid, scholarships, and to meet local employers and representatives from our armed forces, organizers noted.

“Attending the college fair helped me better understand what I was looking for from a college and also what the colleges were looking for in me," Katie Swain, a 2018 Round Rock High School graduate, said in a prepared statement. "I’m glad I went.”

Food will be available for purchase from the Pok-E-Jo’s and WaffLuv food trucks. For more information about the College and Career Fair, students are urged to contact their counseling office.

Prior to the event, prospective student attendees are encouraged to register for the college fair on the gotocollegefairs.com website and select the TACRAO 9/23/19 – 9/27/19 All-Central Texas and Rio Grande Valley Fairs event. Registered students will receive a unique barcode to present to representatives from visiting colleges and universities, according to organizers.
