Prospective students can tour labs in Fort Pierce, Vero Beach and Port St. Lucie, meet faculty and explore programs from nursing to welding from late March to late April.
Indian River State College will host eight free, specialized open house events across its Treasure Coast campuses from late March through late April, giving prospective students a hands-on look at career programs in fields ranging from health sciences to skilled trades.
Families and job-seekers considering enrollment at IRSC will get the chance to tour professional facilities, meet faculty, and learn about financial aid and enrollment options, all without cost. The events span the college's Fort Pierce, Vero Beach, and Port St. Lucie campuses, with free parking and ADA accessibility at each location.
The series kicks off with two events on March 25. A STEM Open House runs from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Massey Campus, 3209 Virginia Ave. in Fort Pierce, covering engineering technology, computer science, mathematics and natural sciences. That same evening, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., the Mueller Campus in Vero Beach hosts a Hospitality, Tourism, Culinary and Restaurant Management Open House at the Richardson Center, where attendees can tour professional kitchens and meet culinary instructors.
April brings a concentrated stretch of opportunities. On April 6, the School of Health and Human Sciences opens its Pruitt Campus in Port St. Lucie for a 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. event showcasing registered nursing, dental hygiene, radiography and other health programs, including simulation labs with advanced medical training equipment.
April 14 is the busiest day, with three simultaneous open houses. The Treasure Coast Public Safety Training Complex in Fort Pierce highlights law enforcement, fire science, EMS and criminal justice — complete with tours of fire training towers and tactical ranges. Back at Massey Campus, separate events cover Business, Accounting and Cybersecurity, and the School of Education's teacher preparation pathways.
A Workforce Education Open House at Massey Campus follows on April 16, spotlighting skilled trades, project management, and professional certifications with flexible scheduling options for working adults. The series closes April 29 with a Welding Open House, also at Massey, running from 6 to 8 p.m. and aimed at high school students, career-changers, and anyone looking to enter a high-demand trade.
IRSC serves Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, and Okeechobee counties and enrolls more than 24,000 students annually across more than 130 programs leading to bachelor's degrees, associate degrees, and technical certificates.
