The Lake Almanor Area Chamber of Commerce announces a collaborative initiative with Chester Junior-Senior High School to host a job fair aimed at empowering local youth and strengthening the community’s workforce. The fair is set for Friday, March 21, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the high school, 612 First St.
The chamber invites local businesses to participate by reserving a table to share staffing needs with students and community members. Regardless whether a business has current open positions, the chamber encourages employers to consider engaging with students as a speed interviewer, providing them with valuable insights and skills necessary for success in the job market. “Your participation is crucial in fostering local economic growth and nurturing the future workforce of the Lake Almanor Basin,” say organizers.
Chester High’s vice principal and Chelsea from the chamber will curate a job wall featuring local industry opportunities, allowing students to select their top three preferences, say organizers. The event will consist of two interactive sessions: one focused on resume building and the other on speed interviews, after which participants will switch roles. The chamber also invites employers to stay and connect with the youth, showcasing employment opportunities local businesses have to offer.
