Glens Falls High School Job Fair

On Wednesday, April 5th, Glens Falls High School hosted the inaugural 2023 Job Fair and Career Expo event. 35 employers set up tables in the gym, and 12 area business leaders held seminars in classrooms. There were also workshops to help students with resumé building, work/life considerations, and financial management. This event gave high school students the opportunity to get a head start on their career search, and develop valuable skills. 

There were also job fairs at Queensbury High School and Lake George Junior-Senior High School. Employers from both large and small companies attended the event, as well as companies associated with the Lake George tourism industry. These job fairs give the employers an opportunity to prepare for the summer hiring season; summer jobs fill an employment need and help young people contribute to the workforce, and also provide students with valuable social skills that set them up for future employment. Criteria for the businesses to participate in the job fair included location and number of positions available. All attending businesses took part in a 30-minute virtual orientation program to ensure success in recruiting teens to their open positions. 

The Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce (ARCC) President and CEO Tricia Rogers was also on hand for the event. The job fair featured many of the ARCC members and regional businesses with employment opportunities… The mission of the ARCC is to partner with and support regional businesses to grow, succeed and thrive. It unites industries collectively to positively impact continued growth and continual investment.

Warren County expanded the high school job fair to Glens Falls High School and Queensbury High School this year as a result of the successful 2021 and 2022 job fairs at Lake George Junior-Senior High School.
