A record number of students from Warren County Community College took a step to better plan for their future by participating in the college’s Fall Career and Transfer Fair, gaining an opportunity to visit with representatives from 30 employers, colleges, and the armed services.
The fair each spring and fall gives Warren students an opportunity to meet with potential employers, the military, and representatives of other higher education institutions where they may want to continue their education.
“Nearly 70 students this year filled the room and were very engaged as they visited the booths and chatted with these participants, who offered them a variety of paths forward,” said Liliana Koster, dean of student services for Warren. “It was great to see so many students taking advantage of this opportunity and walking away with a lot of good information and arms full of brochures and giveaways.”
The vendors ranged from regional health care and hospitality institutions to four branches of the military, while the colleges represented a mix of institutions from throughout the region.
Warren students may decide to go into the workforce after receiving their associate degree or other credentials from Warren, or transfer to another college to receive their bachelor’s degree or other training.
