Statler Center Announces Career and Technology Expo
Renee DiFlavio, VP of Employment and Education, announces the upcoming Career and Technology Expo at the National Statler Center. The Expo will be held Thursday May 8, 2008 at the Elizabeth Pierce Olmsted Center, located at 1170 Main Street in Buffalo, New York. In addition to hosting adaptive technology vendors, the National Statler Center is also offering free workshops in job searching and networking; interviewing skills; an introduction to Statler Training; and an introduction to adaptive software.
Workshop attendees will be provided with tips and tricks that can be used in the job search process as well as the interviewing process, an overview of the hospitality industry training provided by the Statler Center, and a glimpse of the available adaptive software for individuals with visual impairments.
The National Statler Center is located in Buffalo, New York. It is partially funded by local and national foundations, and holds three classes per year at the Buffalo campus. Students accepted into the program must have a high school diploma or GED, type approximately 20 words per minute, and be ready to work. It is not necessary to know how to use a computer; however, it is important that students can utilize a note-taking device. The National Statler Center is looking for motivated folks who are excited about a career in the hospitality industry.
