The Barry County Career Fest will feature career opportunities from area businesses, planning support for students wishing to pursue careers locally, demonstrations, and hands-on experiences.  The Career Fest will focus on four major career areas, with several career paths highlighted within each field.  Featured career areas include:
 

*Business Management, Marketing, Finance, and Technology
