Area high school and college students are invited to attend a free career workshop at the Truckee Airport on Jan. 18 at 5pm.

The career mentoring program, officially known as the Truckee Tahoe Flight Plan, is designed and conducted by Pathways to Aviation, a nonprofit organization seeking to inform, inspire, and engage the aviation’s next generation. Thursday’s workshop is the first of four workshops taking place at the airport through April.

Students are not required to have an interest in working in the aviation industry. While each workshop will connect students to aviation executives, who will describe various aspects of the industry, they will teach considerable career planning best practices. Students who attend all four workshops will have a greater understanding of job searching, skills identification, resume writing, and networking, as well as a numerous great new professional references.

The Truckee Tahoe Flight Plan is open to all high school and college students and entirely free of charge. For more information, go online.
