Daviess County Public Schools is partnering with Owensboro Community & Technical College to host a virtual Admissions and Career Program fair for the region. The event is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Monday.
The event will be hosted on the DCPS Google Meets platform. Interested families can register for the event online at here. Those registered will receive a link to the virtual event.
The event is open to any interested student in grades 10-12. It is limited to the first 200 pre-registered participants, but officials said they may add another event if there is interest.
The event will include the opportunity to learn about specific services including admissions, financial aid and transfer opportunities. Breakout sessions will feature service areas and program breakouts based on career sectors, including advanced manufacturing, business/IT and public services, construction/transportation, and healthcare careers.
Each program sector at OCTC has a Success Coach to personally assist students. They will be on hand to provide an overview of each program and the credentials offered within those areas. Program faculty will be available to answer questions and discuss employment opportunities available regionally. Each of the breakouts will be repeated so students and their families may attend multiple sessions of interest.
Amanda Jerome, DCPS College & Career Readiness Coordinator, led the charge for the event.
“This has been such an unusual time for everyone,” she said. “We want to encourage all our students to keep moving forward and give them the opportunity to learn about all the career program options available to them.”
