Wide array of employers to
participate in
Employers from a wide range
of industries will participate in the seventh annual Clearwater Career Fair on
Thursday, April 29 in Orofino.
Hundreds of young people have
participated in the fair in the past, taking advantage of hands-on opportunities
to experience the kind of work skilled tradesmen perform and understand what is
expected of and provided by careers in other sectors of the economy.
“Many of the participants are
high school students looking ahead to the future after graduation,” said Dee Dee
Arnzen, an Idaho Department of Labor consultant who has been organizing the
fair. “But others are simply young people who have already graduated but are
still trying to decide what direction their lives should take. The dozens of
employers represented at the fair give them a bird’s eye view of what the future
can hold.”
The fair, which runs from 10
a.m. to 2 p.m. 0n April 29, at the Orofino City Park, is cosponsored by the
Labor Department, the Orofino Chamber of Commerce, the Clearwater Business
Committee and the Orofino Kiwanis Club. It is one of eight career fairs the
Department of Labor is cosponsoring around the state this year.
