HOW DID YOUR COMPANY FIRST CONNECT WITH PENN COLLEGE?

Penn College offers hands-on experience. We consider this a major benefit and, when combined with classroom learning, prepares students to think critically. These well-rounded applicants are who we prefer to hire.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE PENN COLLEGE STUDENTS TO BEST PREPARE THEM TO JOIN YOUR TEAM?

VOLT® encourages all students to explore all academic options and paths that Penn College has to offer. You never know what you are going to have an interest in and learn to love until you try!
