On October 18, 2018, the Merced County Office of Education hosted its annual Career Industry Day at the Merced County Fairgrounds.

This event gives more than 1,500 sophomores from Merced County high schools the opportunity to explore career options in California’s 15 industry sectors. In support of college and career readiness, representatives from post-secondary and regional businesses were on-hand to provide students current information to reference while planning for their future careers.
