Junior Achievement is hosting it’s annual Career Exploration Experience on Tuesday April 14th and Wednesday, April 15th, 2026 at the Mohegan PA Convention Center.
This two-day event engages approximately 3,500 high school students in hands-on, experiential exhibits with over 85 local companies and organizations exposing them to career opportunities, creating connections and helping inspire students towards a pathway for success. This year, more than 35 school districts in Luzerne, Lackawanna, Columbia, Pike, Susquehanna, Wayne, and Wyoming counties have confirmed their attendance at Inspire. Attached is the list of Exhibitors for this year along with some additional information about what students can expect when they get to Inspire.
