Employer Drive-Ins – VACE coordinates several employer site visits for its members across the state.  Hosting employers provide an information session about what they do, the typical entry-level and internship roles, and the overall recruitment strategy.  Some have hosted employee and/or intern panel discussions and/or facilitated a site tour.

Are you an employer interested in hosting a Drive-In? Contact us at askvace@gmail.com
