Please save the date for the upcoming 8th Annual BATEC College Fair scheduled for Friday, April 1st from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00p.m., at the Reggie Lewis Athletic Center in Roxbury, MA.
The fair is organized by TechBoston in partnership with the Boston Area Advanced Technological Education Connections (BATEC). BATEC is a project funded by the National Science Foundation with the goal of developing a coordinated, self-sustaining, regional IT education and workforce development system that will attract a diverse student population to IT careers, promote lifelong learning of technical skills and support the IT workforce needs of our region.
We are inviting high school juniors, seniors and sophomores enrolled/interested in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) programs to attend the fair. Approximately 50 New England Colleges and Universities offering majors in Applied Technology, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, Web Technology, Business Technology, Computer Science, Media & Communication Technology and Networking will be participating. In addition, workshops on Financial Aid and Admissions processes as well as Technology Career Exploration and College & Career Advising will be offered.
