Members from these businesses will help answer student questions about industry job opportunities, salary potential in various fields, benefits, and educational requirements.

In addition to local business participation, representatives from many local universities and colleges will also be in attendance to guide students through the application and enrollment process. Participating organizations include:

  • NC State University

  • Campbell University

  • Johnson & Wales University

  • UNC-Wilmington

  • Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics

  • NC Central University

  • East Carolina University

  • Brunswick Community College

  • Wayne Community College

    During the event, students will filter through the business and college booths with ample time to explore and ask questions. Some of the high schools and middle schools that will attend include North Brunswick High School, West Brunswick High School, Leland Middle School, Cedar Grove Middle School, and more.

    The event will be held at the Center of Applied Science and Technology on Thursday, February 24 at 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at 1109 Old Ocean Highway, Bolivia, NC 28422.
