Cheney Tech attends the Financial Reality Fair held at the State Capitol

On Wednesday, November 4th four trades, Computer Aided Drafting and Design, Diesel and Heavy Duty Equipment Repair, Electrical, and Manufacturing Technology, attended the Financial Reality Fair held at the State Capitol.  The Fair was sponsored by the Credit Union League of Connecticut.  The goal of the Financial Reality Fair is to increase the level of knowledge related to handling personal finances and to aid students in the decision making process applied to the many associated financial responsibilities of independent living.

All of the students found the Fair to be a very educational and enlightening experience that will help them prepare for their future.

Thank you to the Credit Union League of Connecticut for inviting Cheney Tech!
