Bradford-Sullivan Career Day 2026 was a HUGE success! 💪

More than 700 students from nine schools across Bradford and Sullivan counties connected with 38 local businesses and organizations - which is the most ever represented at the event - to explore careers in healthcare, manufacturing, agriculture, finance, human services, and more.

Students also experienced hands-on career exploration through VR simulations, with the most popular being knee surgery as a surgical tech and fixing farm equipment as a diesel technician! 👩‍⚕️🧑‍🔧

We would like to thank Towanda School District for hosting, all participating schools and businesses, and our partners who helped make this event possible as we continue building the workforce of tomorrow. 👏
