The symposium will include various seminars, workshops, business presentations, and job opportunities.

The overarching goal of this initiative is to serve as a resource that aids in the preparation of our community’s citizens to enter the workforce by providing information regarding various educational and technical programs leading to career paths at the community college level and four-year college level via bridge programs between community college and university level. The symposium will also address career paths in other areas.
