The second annual Youth Hiring Fair on March 16 was an opportunity for local employers to meet with students interested in part-time and summer jobs, Youth Apprenticeship, and Registered Apprenticeship opportunities. Students also were able to learn about other career opportunities after graduation. Nearly 500 students participated in the event this year and many handed out resumes, picked up applications, and some even interviewed on the spot.
This event brings local employers face-to-face with students and educators. It is truly a win-win for all involved. Employers win when they find students to fill existing openings. Students win because they are exposed to a variety of businesses and careers they may not have considered. And, educators win when they have the opportunity to network with local business leaders and learn more about their work and how to better connect students with local job opportunities.
If your organization would like to participate in 2018, please contact Deanna Schuette.
