A Must-Attend Event for Families

As parents, we’re always thinking about our kids' futures—especially when it comes to their education and career paths. If you have a high schooler at home, the upcoming 16th Annual College & Vocational Fair in Temecula is an event you won’t want to miss. This year’s fair will take place on Saturday, September 21, 2024, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Promenade Temecula, located at 40820 Winchester Road.

This one-day event is a fantastic opportunity for your teen to explore a wide range of educational options, all in one convenient location. With over 300 colleges, vocational schools, military institutions, and military branches expected to attend, your family will have access to an incredible variety of resources. Whether your teen is considering traditional college programs, hands-on vocational training, or a career in the military, they’ll find valuable information to help guide their decisions.

One of the best parts of the fair is the chance to meet with representatives from these institutions face-to-face. Your teen can ask questions about programs, admissions processes, and financial aid options—all in a low-pressure environment. As a mom, I know how overwhelming it can be to navigate the post-high school journey, so having all these resources in one place is a huge help.

Temecula’s Mayor, James ‘Stew’ Stewart, emphasizes the importance of this event for our community: “Providing our students and their families with easier access to post-secondary education is a priority for the City of Temecula. This event is a vital platform that empowers students to make informed decisions about their futures, and we are proud to host this engaging gathering annually.”

The fair isn’t just about gathering brochures; it’s about opening doors to new possibilities. Whether your child has a clear plan for the future or is still figuring things out, this event is designed to inspire and inform. It’s the perfect first step toward a bright and successful future.

So, set a reminder for Saturday, September 21st, and make your way to the Promenade Temecula with your teen. Together, we can help them explore their options and take charge of their future.
