#LifeReady Career Rodeo

A logo for the #LIFE READY CAREER RODEO SKILLS CHALLENGE features bold red and white text on a blue background.

This isn't just a career fair—it's a high-stakes skills competition where our students prove they are ready for the job. Watch as they tackle real-world, work-based challenges right in front of you, demonstrating the hands-on skills and problem-solving abilities your business needs.

The #LIFEREADY Career Rodeo gives you an exclusive "first look" at your next great hires, showcasing their talent before our culminating CTE Signing Day. Join us to connect with top-tier students and find the future employees who are ready to get to work.
