Representatives from local and regional Historically Black Colleges & Universities will be on site to connect with local high school students, fraternities and sororities will host tailgating, and recruiters from some of the Gulf Coast’s largest employers such as Austal, Airbus USA, Coca-Cola and Apple will be meeting with prospective job applicants.
