“These types of events expose more Delaware students to the type of careers they can pursue in our state, ultimately helping Delaware compete in an economy that’s changing every day,” Governor Carney said about the 2023 events. “It’s never too early to show students what pathways are out there. These expos have many industries represented and I encourage businesses to participate.”
