Do you know a middle school, high school, or college level student who is interested in exploring a technology-related career? Then invite them to the IT Traveling Roadshow, a free event designed for middle and high school students and their parents who want to learn more about technology careers and the educational paths available to enter the field.

Eric VanderHouwen, president of VanderHouwen Associates, Inc., a premier staffing provider of technology professionals in the Pacific Northwest, will kick off the evening with a 15-minute keynote speech outlining the state of the technology field in the region.

Current WSU Vancouver students or recent graduates of the technology programs at WSU Vancouver including management information systems, digital technology and culture and computer science will take part in a panel discussion that will explore how they got interested in technology, what their educational journey has been like and what their career aspirations are.

Target Audience: Middle-high school students and their parents and current college students who have not yet declared a major and are interested in technology
