The event is timed well for employers who want to staff up early for the busy summer season and for all students including athletes who are wrapping up their winter seasons and wanting to secure summer jobs. Students at all of the public and private high schools in the region will be invited to this free event, so stores with multiple locations and remote opportunities can benefit from participating in this event. Over its existence, the Youth Job Fair has grown even through the Pandemic – serving more than 740 students from all over the Cape and beyond – some who attended the virtual event in 2020 from as far away as Texas. Many participating employers return each year and regularly comment that the Youth Job Fair is a great resource to hire young and eager workers.
