Orange County Early Talent Signals

February 25, 2026

Join the Orange County Business Council, regional employers, College Board and K–12 and community college educators for a networking reception focused on strengthening Orange County’s talent pipeline. We’ll share new and innovative ideas for signaling early talent and career readiness, explore ways to collaborate more deeply in the months ahead, and then head together to the OC Pathways Showcase to see students demonstrate their pathways in action.

– Connect with K-12 and community college leaders shaping local pathways

– Share what “career-ready” looks like in your industry and how early talent can show it

– Choose a simple way to engage as we build tomorrow’s workforce together

Talent Signals Mixer immediately followed by the OC Pathways Showcase, where forward thinking employers can meet their future workforce and learn how Orange County programs are preparing students for their future careers.
