Pat Herrity, Fairfax Supervisor for Springfield District announced that free registration for his 9th annual Teen Job and Opportunity Fairs is now open for students and businesses. His office, Fairfax County Public Schools, Fairfax County Times Newspapers, Neighborhood and Community Services, DFS Public Assistance and Employment Services Division along with businesses and community organizations, including our local chambers, have hosted very successful teen job fairs and career-building workshops for the past eight years.
These fairs focus on students and young job seekers looking for a variety of employment opportunities; full time, after-school, seasonal positions, internship opportunities, and volunteer positions. Students of all ages are encouraged to attend, but most opportunities will be geared toward students ages 16-18. The fairs have provided thousands of teenagers the opportunity to get in front of employers and for our employers to find talented Fairfax County students to fill their positions. Last year over 1,500 students and around 100 businesses participated.
Student registration Student registration is free and open to all teens in Fairfax County looking for employment, volunteer opportunities, or tips on building their resume.
Business registration is also free and open to any organization providing positions for students. Free table space and a complimentary table covering will be provided to registered businesses and organizations to advertise their available positions. Participating businesses must provide positions for students at the fair; soliciting without offering positions is not permitted.
We will also host resume and career building workshops during the fairs with our Chamber of Commerce partners. Students of any level of experience are encouraged to attend these workshops.
To prepare for the fairs, students can view these resources provided by Fairfax County Department of Family Services:
