Future Students Enjoy In-Person Open House

Wednesday, October 6, 2021|By Britten, Casey

Around 1000 people visited Fox Valley Technical College on Tuesday, Oct. 5 for our 2021 Open House event.

Guests learned about their career area of interest, explored college support services, spoke with faculty, and toured labs and classrooms. In addition, the $30 application fee was waived as part of the event.  

All FVTC locations were open for tours. While there was interest in many programs, manufacturing-related careers drew significant interest from attendees. WBAY-TV 2 joined us to highlight these programs: Open House at FVTC attempts to recruit skilled labor >>
