Fluid Power Day at Bethlehem Area Vocational-Technical School (BAVTS) February 5th | 9:00AM - 1:00PM ET
Join us for Fluid Power Day at BAVTS, a feeder school for Northampton Community College (NCC), one of our 7 Fast Track Hub colleges.
At BAVTS students spend half of their school day at one of three local high schools and the other half at BAVTS, receiving career and technical instruction. Fluid Power Day helps students to learn about academic pathways, NFPA scholarships, and other resources that support students as they pursue education and careers in fluid power-related industries. We're going to visit their classrooms and hold a panel discussion with NFPA member companies who will share real-world insights, career stories, and advice about considering a career in our industry and in the afternoon, NFPA members will learn about the opportunity and benefits of BAVTS’ co-op program and hear directly from students currently enrolled.
NFPA members are welcome to bring swag or small travel size demonstration devices, but that is not required.
