ALLENTOWN – Middle and high school students, college students, and their families are invited to sign-up to attend Sen. Jarrett Coleman’s (R-16) Career and Technical Education Expo on Thursday, Oct. 1, from 5:30-7:30 p.m., at Lehigh Carbon Community College’s Community Service Center, 4525 Education Park Drive in Schnecksville.
A sensory hour for this event will take place from 4:30-5:30 p.m.
Those interested in attending the expo can register here.
“A challenge our students continue to face is deciding what future career they should choose,” Coleman said. “Our career and technical education expo aims to ease this burden for local students and serves as a starting point for them to explore possible job options and receive some guidance from the exhibitors representing these career paths.”
This event is coordinated in partnership with Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC), Lehigh Career and Technical Institute (LCTI), Workforce Board Lehigh Valley and Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce.
“Lehigh Carbon Community College is honored to partner with Senator Coleman to host the Career and Technical Education Expo on our campus,” said LCCC President Dr. Ann Bieber. “We are deeply grateful for Senator Coleman’s strong advocacy for career and technical education and his dedication to our students. Events like this provide invaluable opportunities for local youth and families to explore high-demand career pathways and discover how hands-on training leads to rewarding, lifelong careers.”
“One reason the Lehigh Valley is so attractive to manufacturers like Eli Lilly is our talent pool. Lehigh Career & Technical Institute, Lehigh Carbon Community College and other regional schools provide students with the technical training they need to launch lucrative careers with B. Braun, Mack Trucks, Victaulic and other employers,” LCTI Executive Director Lisa Greenawalt said. “This week’s expo will help LCTI reach more prospective students and share information about the opportunities ahead when you choose career and technical education.”
