Join us for Staunton River High School's Reverse Career Fair!
Businesses, this is your opportunity to meet SRHS seniors who are looking to join the workforce this summer.
What is a Reverse Career Fair?
Unlike a traditional career fair where students walk table-to-table to meet employers, a Reverse Career Fair flips the script. Students set up booths to showcase their skills, projects, and career interests, and business professionals walk the room to connect with potential future interns or employees.
Each students creates a display highlighting who they are, what they're passionate about, and where they hope to go next. Think of it as a personalized resume table that gives you a deeper look at the next generation of talent.
Why should your business participate?
- Spot Future Talent Early: Meet career-focused students interested in your industry or line of work.
- Engage with Potential Interns: Many students are actively seeking internships, part-time jobs, or mentorship opportunities.
- Support Workforce Development: Your presence shows that you're interested in the future of our local workforce and education system.
- Low Commitment, High Impact: No booth or setup on your end -- just show up, walk around, and engage with students who have done the prep work!
You'll get a first-hand look at the passions, skills, and perspectives of upcoming graduates. Many will have portfolios, certifications, or hands-on project examples.
