See distribution attached FROM: Sarah Lucas, Communications Department DATE: August 23, 1994 SUBJECT: "EDUCATION WORKS" SHOW - "OPPORTUNITY IS KNOCKING"! This year's Education and Career Training show. "Education Works" will be held at the P.N.E. on Friday, November 18, Saturday, November 19 and Sunday, November 20, 1994 from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. VCC has committed to attend by reserving a booth. The show presents a real opportunity for VCC to showcase its programs and to introduce the newly integrated VCC image to an interested public. This is one chance to show that VCC embodies the "Skills Now" approach in all our training and to emphasize the job opportunities available to our graduates. A representative volunteer committee has met three times to brainstorm. Several areas have expressed interest but we now need to hear from all departments who would like to participate. The Fair brochure is enclosed for your interest and for discussion with your colleagues. If you would like to participate, or if you need more information, please contact me at local 7158. Our next meeting will be September 16th, so an initial expression of interest (not binding!) should be submitted by September 15th. We have currently planned for a background VCC display unit, video projection capability, multiple brochure display stand and have discussed demonstration possibilities. We currently feel that we would need two VCC employees to cover shifts of approximately four hours, but the needs of participating departments will differ. Details will be provided later. Also, training will be provided for those staffing the booth. As you read the brochure, I think you will agree that this is an opportunity for us all to let the world know that VCC is here and very willing and able to cater to their educatioftal needs. / I look forward to both hearing from you and working with you.
