Chabot College 50th Anniversary Career Event: "Own Your Future"

Chabot College will offer its students a free career event, "Own Your Future," presented by the Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour, on Thursday, October 6, 9 a.m. - 1 p.m., in the Reed L. Buffington Visual and Performing Arts Center; registration is required.

"This event brings some of America's top young entrepreneurs to Chabot to spread the entrepreneurial mindset," said Business Instructor Jan Novak, event organizer and recipient of a 2011 Great Teacher Award.

"The goal is to expose you to business ownership as a career path, and also to energize and inform you about the entrepreneurial mindset regardless of career path," she said. "Speakers will discuss how to define a dream career, develop a pathway to that career, and get started on your goals even with limited resources," Novak explained.
