Pine Technical College staff members have been traveling and representing PTC at various college fairs and public events over the last few weeks. Affectionately called the "PTC roadshow," the outreach efforts work to increase the college's visibility and reach. Staff members have recently attended college fairs in PTC's very own Pine City, Cambridge, and the national college fair is set for this week in Minneapolis. Additionally, admissions staff has been a featured guest presenter at several area high schools and job club meetings.
"Attending outside functions like college fairs and speaking at special events helps prospective students, at the very least, become aware of us as option. And, when they're ready to apply, we're top-of-mind," says Dani Chandonnet, PTC's Director of Marketing and Admissions. "September and October of every year is always a super-busy time for events like this, and the payoff, as far as increased visibility and reach, is well worth it," Chandonnet adds.
Don't miss the next PTC-hosted special event, set for Wed. Oct. 26 -- the 5th Annual Open House, 4 to 7 p.m.
