JANESVILLE, WI – Blackhawk Technical College (BTC) proudly values the service and dedication of our area veterans so it is with great pride that BTC will host a Veterans Resource Fair on Feb. 9, from 2-6 p.m., at the central campus in Janesville.

Expected to be one of the largest veteran’s resource events of 2015, more than 55 national, local and statewide agencies, clubs and organizations will be on site to showcase the wide range of services available to veterans and their families.

Open to BTC students as well as the general public, this free event is funded by a Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training grant, a U.S. Department of Labor initiative intended to allow higher education institutions to better deliver career and education training programs.

For more information, please contact Carissa Johnson, an information technology outreach specialist at Blackhawk, at cjohnson156@blackhawk.edu or (608) 757-6327.
