The day long Career Showcase events will not only feature work skill-sets that include CNC, mechanical maintenance, molding and robotics (among others), but company representatives will share with participants how basic workplace skills such as interviewing, will help students succeed in a thriving and innovative, yet highly misunderstood, industry.
