Wednesday, October 15, 2025

Bakersfield College was proud to host the 2025 Agriculture Career Expo & Manufacturing Day on Friday, October 10th. This annual event brought together more than 30 local employers to showcase a variety of career opportunities in the dynamic world of agriculture and manufacturing.

More than 1,000 students from local high schools and BC programs attended the event, which featured interactive stations, networking with industry professionals, an introduction to BC Programs, and more. Attendees also had the chance to gather in BC’s Indoor Theater to view an informational video on careers in the Ag and Manufacturing industries, and the anticipated growth of those industries in the years ahead.

Carlos Medina, Program Manager of Industrial Automation at BC, was excited to offer this event to the community for another year. “This event is about showing students that if you can dream it, you can build it,” he said. “We want attendees to see the possibilities that exist right here in Kern County.”

The 2025 Agriculture Career Expo & Manufacturing Day was made possible through the generous support of sponsors, including Royal Industrial Solutions and Kern County Farm Bureau. “This whole day was not just an event,” said Medina, “it was a celebration of innovation, opportunity, and the bright future of our local workforce.”
