Why should I participate in Career Expo ’08?
As a primary source of career advice for tens of thousands of educated,
highly skilled graduates each year, CCDs can play an integral
role in attracting the Corridor’s high tech workforce. Participating
companies will meet with attending CCDs face-to-face in both
formal and informal settings giving them an opportunity to initiate
a personal long-term dialogue to discuss available positions
and the needs of their company.Back to Top |
When and where will Career Expo ’08 take place?
Career Expo ’08 will take place Thursday, Feb. 28 and Friday,
Feb. 29, at the Tampa Convention Center.Back to Top |
Why does FHTCC host the annual Career Expo?
As one of the nation’s emerging high tech hubs, the Florida
High Tech Corridor’s need for highly educated, highly skilled
technology employees is growing. By showing CCDs the high
tech career opportunities the Corridor provides, our hope is that
the Corridor will be one of the first places they recommend to
students looking to start high tech careers.Back to Top |
