Join us this Thursday at 11:30 a.m. at the Mayo Civic Center room #101 to hear "Advocating for Technical Education & Trade Careers" presented by Amanda Block, Specialty Gas Territory Manager for the largest industrial, specialty, and rare gas company in the world.
Amanda's presentation will focus on three aspects of her experiences. She will describe how she built her interests and skills in traditionally non-female roles followed by her experiences in the off-shore oil fields. Lastly, she will speak about her passion of promoting technical education and opportunities to inspire future generations to consider technical or skilled career paths. You won't want to miss this unique and inspirational program!
