  • 3rd Annual Career Expo

    Please join us on April 25 to share your career knowledge with the young adults in our community. Hearing from local professionals in their fields of interest (YOU!) is impactful - not only in helping them think about possible future goals, but in helping them explore those options now. Learning from you can help guide students toward various high school courses and potential internships and part-time jobs.
     
    We're excited to be building on the success of last year's event. If your organization has openings for summer jobs or full-time careers, feel free to bring your materials along to share with interested students.
     
    We realize that participants join us on a volunteer basis and truly appreciate the time you’ll be taking out of your busy schedule. We will be including participants/business names in a “Thank You” ad in the Manchester Journal.
     
    Note: Booth bait (swag and sweets!) is welcome as it tends to draw the students to your display!

    REGISTER HERE

    Please reach out with any questions you may have, and feel free to share this email with anyone who may be interested.
     
    Thank you,
    Burr and Burton Career Expo Committee
