About the Event
Each year eighth graders from an eight-county region in South Alabama explore career opportunities in eleven local key industry sectors including shipbuilding and ship repair at SAWDC's Worlds of Opportunity Career Day Expo. Since its launch in 2009, the number of students participating has almost doubled. Last year's event hosted approximately 10,000 students from both public and private schools in an eight-county region.
