Feather River College will host the annual College & Career Fair for 11th and 12th grade students from Plumas and Sierra County service areas, as well as current FRC students. The fair will take place on the field in front of the Allied Health/Nursing parking lot on campus. Students will have an opportunity to learn more about local industries, regional colleges, FRC programs and resources, and more. This is an opportunity to speak with college and career representatives to gather information to help plan for life after graduation!
FRC student portion of fair is between 10am - 1pm
FRC students are encouraged to attend the Keynote Speaker at 10am at the football stadium and then explore the College & Career Fair portion afterwards from 11am-1pm on the field in front of the Allied Health/Nursing parking lot. For current FRC students, this is a great opportunity to learn about transfer institutions and local career opportunities.
Please note - this College & Career Fair is designed for BOTH local high school students and current FRC students to attend. FRC students DO NOT need to attend the breakout sessions, but are invited to the Keynote Speaker and fair portions.
