CAREER ADVENTURES

Career Adventures Day (CAD) is a multi-day event organized by Dayton Metro Library, the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Montgomery County Educational Service Center (MCESC) to bring together area middle school students and representatives of local in-demand job sectors. This half-day field trip experience is designed and iterated to give students a hands-on introduction to a variety of industries and careers as they start to plan their pathways through high school and beyond. 

Planning for Career Adventures Day 2026 will begin soon. Is your business or organization interested in participating in CAD 2026? Click Here to contact Allison Knight
