Over the next decade, the American workforce will be short millions of qualified workers for jobs requiring education beyond a high school diploma. High school students today must consider post-secondary education, whether it is technical or college training, a necessity, not just an option.
The Northeast Indiana College Fair in the Walb Student Union at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne on Oct. 14 is the perfect place to start planning. Nearly 75 colleges and universities from in and around Indiana – both public and private – will have information available on programs and services offered. Representatives also will be available to talk with students about what they are looking for and what the school can provide. In addition,there will be representatives from branches of the U.S. Armed Forces for students interested in pursuing the military.
The fair is open to students from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Oct. 14. From 6 to 8 p.m. the fair will be open for students and families who could not make it earlier in the day or who want additional information.
