| Supporting Student Success |
A recent survey showed two-thirds of employers look for graduates with relevant work experience when hiring. Hands-on learning experiences offered right here at the WET Center helps to fill the gaps as students prepare for success upon graduation!
With your generous donation, we hope to give 10 students the chance for 3 - 6 months of paid, real-working experience in solving real problems, for real companies - kick-starting their careers right here in the Central Valley.
We have reached our $5,000 goal! To donate and support even more hands-on learning opportunities for students, please click here! |
