Technology summit and career expo

MARK YOUR CALENDARs for the 2009 event! Schools

Virginia Western Community College is gearing up for the 3rd Annual Technology Summit and Career Exploration scheduled for Tuesday, October 13th!

In 2007 and 2008, Virginia Western Community College provided opportunities for juniors and seniors from local high schools to learn more about careers in the field of applied and advanced technology through a Technology Summit and Career Exploration Fair.

In 2009, VWCC is expanding the Summit to include three distinct components for your students:

• Exhibits where students may explore a variety of employer’s who will showcase career opportunities in the applied and advanced technology sectors;
• Opportunities for high school students to interact with and engage current Virginia Western students and alumni;
• A guided tour of the Advanced Technology Center for all participating schools to see first-hand the educational resources available at VWCC and to meet many of our knowledgeable faculty.

The goal of the Technology Summit and Career Exploration Fair is to continue developing a career pipeline by offering exciting and unique opportunities for students who want to pursue a technical career in the Roanoke Valley. VWCC faculty and staff are excited about this year’s event and hope that you will mark your calendars to participate in what will be an energized, information-packed affair.
