Career Forum
Held in partnership with the Orange County Department of Education, this conference links Orange County high school students directly with the world of business. Each year, at a local university, over 1,300 students attend workshops given by local business leaders on topics ranging from corporate and entrepreneurial business and technology to managing credit and preparing for a successful interview.
These workshops provide an opportunity for dialogue between students and members of the business community. Workshop presenters and conference sponsorship are provided by Orange County businesses such as Allergan, Disneyland Resort, Pacific Life, Latham & Watkins, Northern Trust Bank and Federal Express Corporation.
