Fall 2024 WKY Launch Experience presented by U.S. Bank
Wednesday, October 23 in the Paducah McCracken Convention & Expo Center
The 2024 WKY Launch Experience presented by U.S. Bank is Wednesday, October 26 at the Expo Center - make plans to participate! We need your support to build our community’s future workforce.
WKY Launch Experience is a career exploration expo for eighth grade students in all schools in Paducah/McCracken County school systems including Paducah Middle, Lone Oak, Heath, Reidland, St. Mary and Community Christian Academy. More than 800 students will participate in this one-day event. Our goal is to expose students to local career options they may not be aware of in an effort to strengthen the local workforce of the future.
Our 2023 event had incredible displays and wonderful feedback from the students, educators and parents. This year we want to expand the event to include even more hands-on activities. Your participation can help make this event a huge success!
Sponsorship opportunities are now available along with participant registration. There are several sponsorship levels to choose from as well as multiple participation levels. Please take a moment to review the available options and select your level of involvement. We are excited to partner with you and offer workforce development options to our students.
