Employment and Summer Job Fair
Are you a high school student looking for summer employment or a high school senior who plans to enter the workforce, military, or post-secondary training programs after graduation?
The employment and summer job fair gives students the opportunity to learn more about a variety of career pathways and summer employment opportunities. During this event, participating businesses will highlight available opportunities, provide employment information, and screen potential candidates.
