Educators: Join us for an open house to learn more about VenangoREADY and local business opportunities for your students, held at the Klapec Trucking Warehouse in Reno on April 13th!
VenangoREADY is a workforce preparedness initiative of the Venango Area Chamber of Commerce with area schools. The Education Committee for the Chamber is a planning an event for all Venango Area educators to learn more about the county-wide initiative. We invite teachers, school counselors, administration, and staff from A-C Valley, CLA, Cranberry, Forest, Franklin, Oil City, Titusville, Valley Grove, VRCS, and VTC schools. Educators will also have the chance to tour Klapec Trucking and Webco at their Reno locations, in addition to meeting other local businesses who will be set up at the main event location.
Attendees can sign up for optional tours of Webco and Klapec Trucking, both in Reno, during registration, and also the day of the event if tours are not full. Attendees will be responsible for driving themselves to these locations (both within 1 mile of main event).
