Instructors, industry professionals and students are encouraged to join the roundtable discussion for a firsthand look at today's marine systems technology graduates. Panelists will discuss what students are learning, where they are looking for jobs and the types of offers they are receiving.

"The IBEX conference is the one place where marine-trades students can meet with a mix of businesses leaders who are eager to hire their next generation of skilled technicians," said ABYC eduction director Tim Murphy. "The Career Day roundtable isn't just business leaders speaking at students; it's a two-way conversation that promises to bring surprises and open new idea for those plotting their early career steps as well as for those doing the hiring."

Students will also be able to attend additional optional seminars and explore the exhibit floor. A resume writing session will also be available, led by Neal Harrell of Brooks Marine Group.
