Aviation Youth Career Day will feature a brief program and information booths Saturday from local industry leaders and education programs.
The event, scheduled for 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., will be at the Aeroplex/Aerolease Group, 3333 East Spring St., Long Beach. Parking is free.
The event is intended to expose high school and college students to the array of career paths that aviation offers.
The vendor area will include recruiters from the Long Beach Campus of Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Long Beach City College's Aviation Maintenance Program, Cessna Aircraft Company, The Transportation Security Authority and the California National Guard, among others.
Visitors will also experience a static air show highlighting World War II era aircraft, a Black Hawk military combat helicopter and several experimental planes constructed by local aviation enthusiasts.
"Long Beach has a rich aviation history and Aviation Youth Career Day is a wonderful opportunity to teach our young people about their aviation roots and include them in the centennial celebration of flight," Curt Castagna, president and CEO of the Aeroplex/Aerolease Group, said in a prepared statement.
