About the Hiring Fair

Looking for a way to kick-start your career and land your dream job? Look no further than the Hiring Fair - the perfect platform for young job seekers to connect with local employers eager to interview and hire graduating seniors and young people ages 16-24.

The Hiring Fair connects graduating seniors and 16-24-year-old youth (regardless of school enrollment status) with local companies and hiring opportunities! Three sessions will be held throughout the day.

Participation is free for youth. Industries pay a $50 booth fee upon approval.
