Last month, the annual Chester County College Fair provided students and their families with an opportunity to explore postsecondary pathways, according to a staff report from the Chester County Press. 

The fair, organized by the Chester County Intermediate Unit and sponsored by CCRES Educational and Behavioral Health Services, drew over 900 attendees and representatives from more than 130 postsecondary institutions. 

“The annual Chester County College Fair offers local students access to a diverse range of colleges, with many institutions from our region as well as schools from across the United States and even Europe,” said Jay Della Ragione, special events coordinator for the CCIU. 

The event features a variety of potential options, such as two-year community colleges, military programs, nursing schools, trade schools, and more. 

This year saw the addition of the Transitioning Beyond High School early hour program, which was available to students with disabilities and their families. The program provided attendees with valuable insight into inclusive higher education programs and information on how to access disability support as well as to have individualized conversations with university representatives.
