Cybersecurity student Bradley Dalpaz didn’t expect his Amarillo College internship to take him out of the office and into open fields — or into a future job offer.At Ama TechTel, Dalpaz, a computer science major, worked entirely in the field, installing low-voltage wiring, troubleshooting outdoor processors, and even checking temperatures at a Bitcoin mining farm in White Deer — where it could hit 155 degrees. 

Selected STEM majors at Amarillo College will have a chance to enhance their prospects for summer internships when they network with a number of local employers at AC’s inaugural Employability Forum.

The event, which is being piloted under the auspices of the College’s Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) STEM Grant, will transpire from 9 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Friday, March 1 at AC’s Innovation Outpost, 1220 S. Polk St.
