Virginia Tech, Ball State host apartment career fairs.

The residential property management programs (RPM (1) (Revolutions Per Minute) With electric and electronics devices, RPM measures the rotational speed of the motor's spindle. Floppy disks rotate at 300 RPM, while hard disks rotate from 3,000 to 15,000 RPM. ) at Virginia Tech and Ball State University have produced hundreds of graduates with the skills necessary to step into positions coveting all aspects of property management with a foundation of knowledge that makes them valuable contributors to a community's operations team and poised for promotion up the management ladder.

On March 15, RPM students will have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills to apartment industry employers at Virginia Tech's annual RPM Career Fair. The fair gives students in the program the chance to meet with various companies related to property management and assures companies that most students who walk through the door are qualified applicants from the RPM program.
