Students from area Vocational Schools recently attended a Career Fair at the Massachusetts Highway Association Expo in Marlboro. This annual indoor and outdoor event is the perfect location for vocational school students to interact with over two hundred companies from across New England. Representatives of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, road and bridge contractors, equipment dealers, departments of public works and water departments met with students to discuss co-op and full-time employment opportunities with their companies and organizations.
Feedback from the schools –
Thank you for providing this beneficial opportunity for our students. They had a wonderful time at the career fair and vendor event. The students enjoyed speaking with the vendors and learning about related careers in their field.
Thank you for inviting our school to the career fair. It was way more than we expected. Also thank you very much for the contact list. I will be reaching out to them seeing if they would be interested in coming into our school to present to our juniors and seniors.
Feedback from the exhibitors –
Thank you so much for extending the invitation to participate in yesterday’s Career Fair. We were excited to be there and met with many students who were equally excited to be there. We found them to be engaging and interested. All in all it was a great experience and time well spent. We look forward to participating in more programs or events of the same. Please keep us in the loop going forward.
Thanks for putting this together. We will absolutely participate again. From our chat on Thursday after the ‘Career Fair’ ended, I was encouraged that there have been Public Works placements through the program within the Water/Wastewater sub-specialty area. I would be interested in the full listing of schools that registered (including those who could not attend) and contact persons for each school.
