The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will host a career fair for high school students in October. 

VDOT's Office of Civil Rights has scheduled the career fair for Oct. 4 at the Prince William County fairgrounds, located at 10624 Dumfries Rd., Manassas, from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Over 80 exhibitors have signed up to participate in the fair. 

“Our goal is to show high school students first-hand that fulfilling career opportunities exist in transportation, construction and engineering along with a variety of support industries,” Leslie Martin, a manager with the civil rights office, said in a press release. 

The agency expects over 1,200 students to attend this year.
