Career Education Open House Recap

On March 22nd, the Friends of Chabot had the honor of partnering with Chabot's Career Education programs to host the first Chabot College Career Education (CE) Open House.


Thank you to the close to 300 community members, students, employers, scholarship donors, and special guests who joined the event. The day was filled with career insights, engaging demonstrations, lab tours, delicious food, festive jazz music, and time together building community.


In addition to a buzzing campus atmosphere filled with college and career inspiration, several new community and employer connections emerged, including new scholarships for Construction Management (launching in Fall 2025) and Work-based Learning.
