On October 7, 2026 Lancaster High School seniors who expressed an interest in the transportation field had the opportunity to learn more about career opportunities with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT).
A special thank-you to Mr. Chris Armitage and Mr. Mike Bryant for visiting LHS and sharing information about VDOT’s S.T.A.R.T. program and the opportunities it provides for students interested in beginning a career with VDOT.
Students learned that there are many different pathways with VDOT that ranged from hands-on field and technical careers to office and professional opportunities. They also learned about entry-level positions available right after high school, showing students that a successful career does not always require a traditional four-year college route.
VDOT has opportunities across Virginia, but we were especially excited for our students to learn about career opportunities close to home to build and strengthen the Lancaster County workforce.
Thank you to VDOT for helping our LHS Seniors to be Future Ready!
