Earlier this year, thousands of athletes signed letters of intent to continue their athletic careers at colleges all across the United States. On Thursday, April 13, San Diego Miramar College will introduce a new twist to this concept by hosting a Career Education signing day for San Diego Unified School District students wishing to pursue an educational career in fields such as Diesel Technology, Auto Technology, Aviation, Child Development, Entrepreneurship and Paralegal. The festivities are set to begin at 5 p.m. in L-105 and run through 7 p.m. The actual signing ceremony will take place at 5:30 p.m. in L-105.
“Our Career Education Signing Day celebrates the life-changing moment when a student chooses to commit to their future careers,” said Claudia Estrada-Howell, associate dean, Strong Workforce Programs at San Diego Miramar College. “Participating students will be individually recognized for their dedication to learn in-demand skills for industries like automotive and diesel technology, aviation, entrepreneurship, among other high-paying fields. These workers of tomorrow will choose an industry-aligned degree or certification program with the potential of financial and employment security earlier in life than their fellow classmates who attend a 4-year school right after graduation.”
Participants will sign a letter-of-intent to attend Miramar College, receive program swag, and enjoy a meet-and-greet with faculty and employers.
Providing the keynote speeches will be USMC Veterans, Valentino Nevarez and Kevin Croan. Both are diesel technology program graduates and are currently employed at FedEx as diesel mechanics. Croan also holds a BS in Mathematics. They have each returned to Miramar College as adjunct professors in the diesel technology program as well.
