Invitation to the Annual Career Fair at Pekin Community High School

-

Tuesday, October 25th, we will be hosting a Career Fair for our PCHS students in our very large Hawkin's Gym. We know that time is precious to our business partners, so for this event we are only asking you to donate a few early-morning hours to the cause. If you have heard of our Future Focus Days, this is one such day where we give our students a short break from their everyday classwork and time to think about their future plans. Students will have the opportunity to attend the Career Fair during the first or second periods of the day, in addition to other sessions being held throughout the building. 

 

Last year's Career Fair was a great experience for the students and we hope to provide the same. We are looking for individuals to not only represent their company, but also their career field. Students will be ready with questions to ask you about what your workday looks like and how you got into your field. We love HR representatives and recruiters, but if you have someone available to talk about what the work looks like from the ground, that's even better. 

 

A logistics letter will be coming within a few weeks of the event, but if you can, please plan to be available to students from 7:50 to 9:40 am. The gym will be open for set-up at 7:15 am. I know it's early, but our kids are worth it. Please contact me with any questions or concerns you have and we'll see you in October!
