Program Spotlight: 805 Industry Day

805 Industry Day is an event designed to engage high school counselors to learn about the array of Career Education programs in our local community colleges. Counselors throughout the county are invited to events at each campus to learn about programs and tour facilities. Site and district administrators are invited to join as well. Each campus has its unique programs, and we want to ensure students are aware of all the amazing opportunities available in our region.  805 Industry Day is a collaboration of our community colleges and the VCOE Career Education Department.
