Together with dozens of other NC3 Leadership Schools across the country, Wytheville Community College (WCC) is holding NC3 National Letter of Intent Signing Day on April 18. New students for the 2024-25 school year will take part in a signing ceremony, similar to an athletic signing.

This national event mirrors the NCAA’s National Signing Day for athletes who commit to play sports in college. It is designed to honor students who are entering a technical field and to celebrate the dignity of work.

Dozens of technical institutions across the country will be hosting signing day ceremonies tied together by live, nationwide simulcasts.

“By signing our incoming students to Letters of Intent, we’re telling them that we’ve reserved a place for them, and we want them. Technical education will prepare them for a strong career. Industry leaders are excited about this opportunity because it validates the student and provides an opportunity for industry representatives to meet these future workers.” -Roland Hall, WCC Dean of Workforce Development and Occupational Programs.
