Yesterday, the City of Roanoke, NCTC and the Roanoke Chamber hosted a free luncheon to educate young people on the top mistakes made when looking for a job.  Download 5_mistakes_made_052907.doc .

Representatives from Webmail.us, Shenandoah Life, Tech Squared and Blue Ridge Behavioral Healthcare served as panelists for the workshop.

Over 50 people attended, including 40 students from schools such as Virginia Western, Wake Forest, West Virginia, Virginia Tech, Radford, Roanoke, Mary Baldwin, Hollins, Ferrum. It was a well attended event and shows the vast number of students who are in the region for the summer and ultimately have interest in staying in the region.

The next event will be held on June 21 at Martin’s in downtown Roanoke.
