A job fair for young adults will be held on March 12 at the Island Grove Events Center, in Greeley, to help young people connect with local employers. The event is hosted by the Weld County Government and the City of Greeley.
The fair will give young people the chance to speak with more than 30 local employers who are looking to hire young people. Computers from High Plains Library will be available for attendees to apply for jobs on the spot. There will also be opportunities for young adults to have headshots taken, to receive help perfecting their resumes, and more.
“It’s okay to be nervous, everybody’s nervous the first time they have to find work,” said Shelby Clark, a Youth Employment and Training Navigator for Weld County. “All of our employers know that nerves happen and they’re okay with that. So just feel free to come and be yourself.”
Event registration is free for all young adults ages 14 to 24. Attendees are encouraged to dress in business-casual attire. The fair will take place from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., but attendees can line up for the fair as early as 4 p.m.
