Plano Campus Workforce Fair Offers Online, In-Person Sessions

Learn about degree and certificate programs that can make you career-ready in as little as one year at the free Plano Campus Workforce Fair, Monday-Thursday, March 25-28.

The Workforce Fair offers 16 virtual open houses over three days, March 25-27, and an in-person fair from 1-3 p.m. on March 28, where you can discuss the program in-depth with professors. All sessions, including the in-person fair, are free and open to the public.

Workforce programs focus on specific marketable skills designed to prepare you for a rewarding career, often in as little as one year. In many cases, workforce program certificates are stackable, meaning you can earn one or more certificates while earning credits toward an associate degree in that field.

The Workforce Fair will feature information on programs including American Sign Language/Interpreter Training Program, Banking and Financial Services, Biotechnology, Business Management, Commercial Music, Commercial Photography, Communication Design, Computer Networking, Computer Systems, Early Childhood Education, Human Resources, Insurance Management, Marketing, Medical Assisting Advanced Practice, and more.
