VISIT OUR WORLDS
Welcome to the North Florida Worlds of Work Career Expo. Patterned after highly successful Worlds of Work events throughout the State of Alabama workforce system, AlabamaWorks!, the North Florida Worlds of Work, or WOW for fun, is the first Worlds of Work event in the State of Florida.
On October 23-24, 2025, local economic and workforce development partners will bring ten industry-specific worlds of opportunities to life for over 3,000 ninth grade students, teachers, and parents in our area. The purpose of WOW is to create awareness of the many high demand, high wage job opportunities that exist in North Florida early enough in high school that students may plan their pathway and graduate with a plan in place and well on their way to college or career.
