The 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Tech experience is more than just classrooms and labs. We host various events throughout the academic year that are not only fun, but allow you to connect to instructors, other students and our local community. Mark your calendar with these special events that are now tradition for the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Tech family.
Students have the opportunity to meet potential employers while practicing their interviewing skills at our Career Fair. This annual event features dozens of area companies in all fields, from healthcare and food service to manufacturing and construction. This event provides a great way to jump from college to career.

National Technical Letter of Intent Signing Day, set for April 16, 2026, draws hundreds of incoming students to campus for a special day. This event began at 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Tech in 2014 and is now a national movement involving approximately 75 colleges around the country. Students sign letters of intent, similar to an athletic signing, and commit to the technical program of their choice.
51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Tech's Recycled Rides program hands over the keys to a brighter future. Students team up with instructors and community mentors to refurbish vehicles which are then presented to local families or organizations in need. Local companies donate money, parts and supplies to get the vehicles back on the road again. Students in all 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Tech programs are encouraged to participate. A spring date has not been chosen yet. Please check back for updates.
Join us for one of the most fun days of the year at 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Tech, the annual Car Show, from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m, Friday, May 1, 2026.
