Business AfterSchool Engineering Week Introduces Students to the World of Engineering

Engineers are in high demand and businesses are looking to fill jobs.
The workshops provides students, parents, and teachers the opportunity to explore high demand careers in the business world of today.  Students will experience what being an engineer means, along with the skills and education necessary to work in the field. Students also get the chance to connect with businesses and build relationships for potential future employment. Engineers are in high demand and businesses are looking to fill jobs. All students, parents, and educators alike are invited to attend, participate and learn.
