(Greensburg, IN) – The Greensburg/Decatur County Economic Development Corporation’s (EDC) fifth annual Opportunity Expo will be held February 24, 2027 at the Greensburg High School Fieldhouse.
The event has grown to over 100 businesses and reached more than 1,500 students in Decatur County.
EDC says it wouldn’t be possible without the help of local businesses and community partners, sharing their time, effort, and financial resources.
Beginning with the upcoming event, freshmen and sophomores will join juniors and seniors for the day of networking, engaging conversations, and hands-on opportunities with local businesses.
“With the shift for more students to engage in work-based learning, we feel that introducing students to businesses sooner and getting their foot in the door can be more beneficial to all students and our community,” said Jessica Barker, PRIMED Greensburg College and Careers Teacher and organizer of the Opportunity Expo.
All vendor space for the Expo is free to help remove any financial barrier for local businesses.
There is also space available for businesses wanting to set up areas for hands-on experiences for the students to experience.
There are four levels of sponsorship available for the Opportunity Expo, from $250 Event Sponsor to $1500 Teacher Grant Sponsor.
All funds raised go towards the EDC’s Workforce Preparation Teacher Grant, which awards funds to local educators who are teaching the future local workforce.
