LONCO, Inc. Presents at the 2010 APWA International Congress
On August 18, 2010, Carol Ksiazek, LONCO’s Business Development Manager, hosted a presentation on the Engineering Mentorship Program for the 2010 APWA International Congress in Boston, Massachusetts.
Carol Ksiazek along with Bill Dinchak, P.E., Business Development Manager from the APWA Chicago Metro Chapter, Fox Valley Branch started the pilot program 2½ years ago. Pre-engineering students benefit greatly from the panel discussions. Each panel consists of four experienced Professional Engineers, speaking about their successful educational and career choices. Nine colleges and universities have participated in the semi-annual panel discussions. The Engineering Mentorship Program receives publicity in magazine articles in the APWA Reporter, talk radio shows, presentations, and webinars. The main goal for the program is to mentor the college pre-engineering students by answering their education/career questions, allowing contact after panel discussion, assisting with internships, job shadowing and/or job placement opportunities and networking opportunities through APWA Student Membership.
