Reverse Job Fair Planned For Wednesday
There will be a Reverse Job Fair held on Wednesday, April 22nd, from 8:00 – 10:00 a.m. at the Turning Point Church of the Nazarene, 2720 Campus Drive. Employers can come meet students who are seeking employment with resumes and portfolios ready for review.
A Reverse Job Fair flips the typical career fair design. This innovative recruitment event puts job seeking candidates at a table to highlight their talents and experience. Employers circulate around the tables to view their resumes and visit with the potential employees. The event is open to Intellectually Disabled high school students from Garden City Public Schools.
Garden City High School staff have worked to prepare students who are going to be job candidates for this special event. The students have worked on writing a resume, networking and interviewing, as well as how to present themselves to potential employers.
The event is a collaborative effort between USD 457, Kansas WorkforceOne, Southwest Developmental Services, Kansas University Center on Developmental Disabilities, Compass Behavioral Health, Families Together, and Vocational Rehabilitation Services.
For more information, call the USD 457 Special Education Department at 620-805-7140.
