March 13, 2023 – Explore degree and certificate programs designed to jump-start your career at the Plano Campus Workforce Fair, Monday-Thursday, March 27-30. Three days of virtual open houses, March 27-29, will culminate in an in-person fair held from 1-3 p.m. on March 30 in the Plano Campus atrium. All sessions, including the in-person fair are free and open to the public.
Workforce programs focus on specific marketable skills designed to prepare you for a rewarding career, often in as little as one year. In many cases, workforce program certificates are stackable, meaning you can earn one or more certificates while earning credits toward an associate degree in that field.
The Workforce Fair will feature information on programs including American Sign Language/Interpreter Education Program, Banking and Finance, Biotechnology, Business Management, Commercial Music, Commercial Photography, Communication Design, Computer Networking, Computer Systems, Early Childhood Education, Human Resources, Insurance Management, Marketing, Medical Assisting Advanced Practice, and more.
