Those attending the Expo will have the opportunity to explore many different Western Dakota Tech programs through hands-on activities and visit with actual employers about career options.
"We're committed to helping students realize their potential," Roe said. "Finding a field that fits your personality and goals is the first step toward a successful career."
The Expo focuses on interactive demonstrations to ensure attendees have a personal, hands-on experience with each career field.
"Every booth at the Expo has a hands-on activity to enjoy," Roe said. "This is the best way to get a feel for a career. It also reflects our hands-on approach to education at Western Dakota Tech."
Examples of some activities Expo participants can participate in include: welding, performing simple blood typing, looking at blood cells and bacteria under a microscope, simulating a blood draw out of a synthetic arm, and experiencing a cardiac arrest virtual reality simulation, etc.
