Bedford County Public Schools and the county's office of economic development is holding a signing day event May 7 for high school students entering the workforce or military.Â
The event is set for 1:30 to 3 p.m. at the Susie G. Gibson Science and Technology Center, 600 Edmund St., in Bedford.
CTE Signing Day celebrates graduating seniors who have completed specific coursework that aligns with an offer for full-time employment in a student’s field of study, including seniors who have enlisted in the United States military and have completed coursework through the JROTC program.
At this event, seniors will sign onto full-time jobs with local employers or military recruiting agencies. Bedford County Public Schools' Superintendent Marc Bergin and Economic Development Director Pam Bailey will provide remarks.
Students, their families, employers and members of the county's school board, board of supervisors and economic development authority also will be in attendance.
