What a great opportunity for current students and prospective ones to cultivate a career in Career and Technical Education on Thursday, Oct. 5 at Western Nevada College.

WNC will hold a job fair from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Reynolds Building Construction Lab.

Later that same day is a chance for future students of WNC to see what programs are available to them in Career and Technical Education. The CTE Open House runs from 4 to 7 p.m.

The public is invited to learn about the CTE programs WNC has to offer to prepare them for careers in the "New Nevada."

In addition, a ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned for 5 p.m. to celebrate the opening of WNC's NV Energy Manufacturing Lab. Renovation of the lab was made possible through generous donations from the E.L. Cord Foundation, NV Energy and the Reynolds Foundation.
