When-Friday, 3/14-Program to start at 11:30, followed by lunch
What will be covered - This Lunch and Learn Opportunity will cover use of the ProQuest Career and Technical Education Database, a database designed with community college students, those in our going into trades, and faculty in mind. Topics to be covered include:
