A career fair will be held next month for Junior and Senior high school students to learn about job opportunities in northeast Kansas.

The Doniphan County Chamber of Commerce, the Economic Development Office, Library District #1, and Highland Community College will be hosting a career fair on November 2, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m at Highland Community College in Highland, Kan.

Adrienne Korson, Dir. of Economic Development with the county said, the goal of the fair is to show students opportunities for work and education in northeast Kansas.

“The Career Fair will give local northeast Kansas businesses an opportunity to share with high school students what kinds of jobs they do, what it takes to work at their business, and what kind of education or training they’ll need,” Korson said. “Each business will be offered table space in the main gym at the Wellness Center so that students can stop by and ask questions. Of course, if you have current or future positions or internships, feel free to post them and talk about them to students.”

Area businesses interested in participating in the fair are asked to RSVP by Friday, Oct. 17 to Library Director Maggie McKeithan at [email protected] or Economic Development Director Adrienne Korson at [email protected].
