Graduation is quickly approaching. That means a flood of young workers potentially entering the workforce. Great Bend High School is trying to connect the next generation of employees with employers looking for help. ACT and Career Coordinator Lacy Wolters said the school is inviting area businesses to a Hiring and Career Fair on April 24.
"Our goal is to bring in area business partners to connect with our junior and senior students as we gear up for summer," she said. "On both sides, we have students looking for summer help and then we know a lot of businesses are looking for summer and part-time helpers as well."
The event will run from 2-3:30 p.m. in the GBHS main gymnasium. Interested businesses will gain access to a talented pool of juniors and seniors eager to kickstart their careers, have the opportunity to showcase their businesses, and contribute to the development of the local workforce and community.
"Any and all business owners here in the county, or really surrounding areas, that are looking to fill that summertime help, part-time help, or full-time employees for our senior students," Wolters said. "It is really open to anyone and everyone. We'd love to have them there."
To secure a spot at the fair, businesses are asked to RSVP by April 17. CLICK HERE to sign up for a booth online.
