Representatives from over 100 colleges nationwide have the opportunity to meet with high school students and their parents at the Chester County College Fair, which is hosted by the Chester County Intermediate Unit.

Additionally, due to the success of the Transitioning Beyond High School program, we are excited to invite students to join us for the program again this year. Colleges with programs for those with all abilities will be attending to speak about topics such as living and transportation accommodations, receiving a certificate versus receiving a four year degree and the various programs that are available.

We are pleased to announce that the 2021-22 fair will be in-person on Thursday, October 21 and held at the Exton Square Mall!

Attending the fair provides career readiness opportunities for students by ensuring that they have access to career exploration and preparation activities that are standards-aligned and evidence-based. This includes the development of career plans and portfolios that help students identify pathways and opportunities for postsecondary success.

Stay tuned for more information on how to register and/or attend this year's fair.

If you have not yet worked with VisitDays, we know you’ll find them to be very professional, user-friendly and supportive.

On Monday, October 26 and Tuesday, October 27, institutions will have the opportunity to post promotional material (brochures, flyers, videos, etc.) about their programs and services so that perspective students can review the information and choose which institution(s) they’d like to meet with virtually on Wednesday, October 28. Students will be able to sign up for a one-on-one session(s) with their institution of choice or choose to attend the institution’s live 30-minute presentation that will take place from 5-8 p.m. Please note that institutions will receive a notification when attendees sign up for a one-on-one session or live presentation.
