What is Student Career Days?
Student Career Days is held in conjunction with TCI EXPO and is a free event for students enrolled in arboriculture, forestry and related programs in two- and four-year collegiate and vocational training programs. All Student Career Days events, the trade show, and all educational seminars are FREE to pre-registered students and their instructors/advisors.
TCI EXPO is a great opportunity for students to get a real taste for the field they'restudying. The trade show floor becomes an off-site classroom where your students will learn about the latest products, equipment, and advances in the industry.Students are invited to attend complimentary educational seminars and workshops. Student Career Days events also include multiple opportunities for students to meet and greet with potential employers. Two evening receptions allow students and employers to mingle in a relaxed setting, and the Saturday Job and Internship Fair allows students to meet and interview with some of the industry's best employers.
Don't miss this opportunity to give your students a first-hand look at the field they'll be entering after graduation!
