Learning to communicate professionally with future employers, colleagues, and community members is a critical part of preparing for the workforce. This luncheon gave students the chance to practice these skills with our professionals from our region.
A special thank you to the industry professionals who joined us, sharing their time and expertise to make this event a success. Your guidance and support is always appreciated!
