The Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce will host the 2026 Youth CareerQuest on Tuesday, Nov. 3, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the New Braunfels Civic and Convention Center.

Youth CareerQuest is an interactive career exploration event that, unlike a traditional career fair, offers students hands-on activities, live demonstrations and one-on-one conversations with industry professionals.

Nearly 1,600 eighth-graders from New Braunfels and Comal County will be connected with 60 local employers at the event, with each employer representing a career pathway connected to educational programs available at local high schools, trade schools or universities.
