Businesses sought for Warren County high school job fairs
Three hiring events scheduled to pair students with employers
WARREN COUNTY, NY -- Warren County Department of Workforce Development has scheduled THREE summer job fairs at local high schools in the coming weeks, and businesses that would like to be part of one or more of them are asked to contact the Department of Workforce Development to begin the registration process.
The expansion of the Warren County high school job fair calendar this year is a result of successful job fairs in 2021 and 2022 at Lake George Junior-Senior High School.
Lake George Junior-Senior High will host its 2023 hiring event on Thursday, March 30, while summer job fairs are scheduled Monday, March 20, 2023 at Queensbury High School and Wednesday, April 5, 2023 at Glens Falls High School.
Businesses that would like to attend should begin the pre-registration process through the following links:
- Queensbury Job Fair: bit.ly/QUFSD_JobFair_Interest
- Lake George Job Fair: bit.ly/LGHS_JobFair23
- Glens Falls Job Fair: bit.ly/GFHS_JobFairInterest
Said Liza Ochsendorf, Warren County Director of Workforce Development: “Our job fairs are great opportunities for local businesses to get a head start on their summer hiring. Dozens of Lake George students secured summer employment at the 2021 and 2022 job fairs, and we anticipate more success this year, as the labor market remains tight. Please let us know as soon as possible if you would like to be part of one or more of these hiring events.”
Business location and the number of positions that will be available for young people will be factors in determining which businesses are a good fit for these fairs, as they are specifically for local high school students who are seeking work.
The job fairs will be attended by students from their respective schools and are not open to the public. All attending businesses will be required to take part in a 30-minute virtual orientation program to ensure greater success at recruiting teens for their open positions.
