From Our Participants
Each year we ask for feedback from our schools, students, and various booth presenters. We continue to be encouraged by what they share.
“1st year attending in my role. Great job. There are other business professionals that I know would be excited to have a booth and engage students.”
“The mock interviews are the most engaging and useful part of the experience.”
“The Career Fair brought in Local Businesses that are successful and were willing to share their story of how you can be successfully and stay local and HAVE A GREAT CAREER!.”
“I was really nervous about the interviews and didn’t know what to expect. But it wasn’t bad at all. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and think the school should keep coming.”
