Graduating into the Workforce Program Results

Good afternoon! I wanted to provide a brief report and a few pics (Vickie has a couple as well) from our Workforce Readiness project this week.

We met with 43 students at BCCC on Tuesday. The students that attended received valuable information and experience. I want to thank you for helping with this event and talking with students about their resumes, giving interview tips and providing information about your company.

BCCC was very appreciative and would like to plan similar opportunities next school year!

Again, thank you for volunteering and I look forward to scheduling similar events in the Fall at other institutions!
