2026 Hiring Fair
About the Hiring Fair
Kickstart your career and explore local job opportunities with Connected Lane County’s Hiring Fair! This is the perfect platform for young job seekers to network and connect with local employers eager to interview and hire young people! (Participation is free for youth).
The Hiring Fair is open to graduating seniors and other young people regardless of school enrollment status! Local companies and hiring opportunities will be available to talk to! Three sessions will be held throughout the day.
Participation is free for youth. Industries pay a $50 booth fee upon approval.
The last session will be reserved for youth who will benefit from a ‘sensory safe’ experience. We will be limiting the number of attendees, lowering the lights, and reserving a room for those who need a quiet space.
