| Reaching Innovative Career Heights |
|
The annual Chester County College Fair, being held at United Sports Center in Downingtown on Monday, November 16, 2009 from 7-9 p.m., provides the opportunity for 1,500 students, parents and community members to receive information regarding post-secondary opportunities at colleges, universities and trade/technical schools.
Reaching Innovative Career Heights (RICH) is an innovative program developed by several industry partners that has been designed to educate students and parents about sustainable careers of the future, aimed at supporting the continuation of a robust workforce and encouraging business growth in the region.
We are looking for young professionals from Biotechnology, Energy, Health Care and Information Technology industries to actively engage students and parents about careers in-demand during the College Fair. No presentation is required. It is simply an opportunity for young professionals to talk with students and parents one-on-one about their career experiences.
If you are interested in participating in this unique workforce development opportunity or would like more information, please contact Mary Fuchs at mfuchs@cceconomicdevelopment.com or Patty Knecht at pknecht@cciu.org.
