Albany Technical College and Georgia Tech’s Enterprise Innovation Institute are teaming up to offer “Career Pathways for the Future Day” for high school students in Early, Lee, Randolph and Terrell Counties. The event will be held on Monday, November 8, 2010, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., in the Albany Technical College Kirkland Conference Center.
Supported under the Georgia Work Ready Regional initiative, this event is designed to give high school students the opportunity to learn how Georgia’s Work Ready program can help them to prepare for future careers in Georgia.
Through power-packed interactive sessions, students will better understand how Georgia’s Work Ready program guarantees workers have the talent necessary for existing jobs and the skills necessary to master the innovative technologies that tomorrow’s jobs will require in the fields of Food Manufacturing, Agribusiness, Bioscience, and STEM occupations.
In addition to the interactive sessions, students will have a chance to tour Albany Tech’s facilities and take plant tours of agri-business companies.
