ROCK SPRINGS – Students looking for their next step can find leads at Western Wyoming Community College’s Career and Transfer Fair April 3, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Rock Springs campus atrium.

The fair is free and open to the public. It serves as an avenue to connect prospective employers and four-year institutions with students, community members, and other businesses. This is a perfect networking opportunity with numerous local, regional, and state entities in attendance.  

Western’s students are encouraged to meet with the Mustang Central Success Teams, which advise students, introduce career planning, assist with résumé writing, and interview preparation. In addition, Mustang central success services aid students with their next steps to the workforce and/or continuing their education beyond Western.
