TOLEDO, Ohio — Toledo Public Schools (TPS) will be hosting their 9th annual College and Career fair on Thursday, October 3, where there's supposed to be over 50 colleges, universities and trade schools.
Choosing what to do after high school is a big decision and TPS is helping make that choice easier by holding their annual college fair.
The event will be happening at Premier Banquet Complex from 4:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m.
TPS officials said although they put on the event, it's not just for students within TPS and it's not just for people interested in going to a university either.
Schools that will be at the fair include Ohio State University, the Ohio University and the University of Toledo.
There will also be representatives from the hair and beauty industry, pipe fitting and construction.
"We want to present an array of opportunities. Those reps will be bringing all of the information they have. They'll have applications that you can do on site, some schools will even provide acceptance on the spot. So, we just want to make sure that we have a free open, to the public option for access for all students in the Toledo region," said TPS External Communications Manager, Candice Harrison.
