Our Porter and Chester Institute Hamden students had an incredible time at last week’s Career Fair!

From networking with local employers to learning about exciting career opportunities, our students took important steps toward building their futures. Events like these give students the chance to connect with industry professionals, ask questions, and gain valuable insight into their future careers.

A huge thank you to all of the employers and community partners who joined us and supported our students’ success!
