Business and industry can significantly benefit from their involvement in the CASE program. Job shadowing provides an opportunity for CASE students to find out what it’s like to be employed in the “real world” by visiting a place of business. Mentoring allows high tech professionals to share their experience and provide advice to PCC students who are interested in or are majoring in a high tech career.

Guest speakers can give a talk on what it’s like to be in an advanced technology career. Volunteers have several opportunities to speak: in the CIS 100 class, at a Brown Bag event, or at a CASE club meeting

The CASE Advisory Council has been created because PCC wants business and industry to be directly involved in the success of the CASE Program. This Advisory Council includes business and industry representatives from Intel, Nike, the Bonneville Power Administration, IBM and HP. The Advisory Team assists with program evaluation and the continuous improvement process.
