February is national Career Technical Education month, and Barton will be hosting a Virtual Career Technical Education fair all month to showcase Barton’s career programs.

All middle and high school students are invited to participate. Students can explore career programs by viewing videos, doing activities, escaping virtual escape rooms and completing a survey to win a Barton swag pack.

The fair can be accessed at careerfair.bartonccc.edu.

Program instructors across the institution have worked to provide content for the virtual fair, which features 28 career and academic programs. Coordinator of Community Education Karly Little said the fair is a great way for students to get exposure to a lot of different possible career paths at once.

“The Virtual Career Fair is about giving students a glimpse into career options they’re excited about and options they don’t yet know exist,” she said.  “If we can get a student excited about a career program that’s a good fit for them, we’re achieving our mission.”
