Lake County Schools is working in partnership with the community to address the immediate labor shortage and to provide career opportunities for our students upon graduation.
To address these needs, Lake County Schools is holding a series of job fairs for graduating seniors seeking employment. This is a great opportunity for local employers to recruit a new and energetic labor force. Seniors attending this fair will be 18 years old by June 1st, and will have had at least one Career and Technical Education course during high school. Students will come with resumes in hand and interviews will be conducted “speed dating” style in ten-minute intervals. This provides you the opportunity to meet as many candidates as possible. There is no cost to attend as a hiring employer and there is no obligation to hire. Following the job fair, you will have access to the candidates contact information so that you have the option to continue the hiring process according to your company’s policies and procedures.
Job Fair dates correspond with career clusters as outlined below:
April 19th from 9 AM – 1PM: Agriculture and Horticulture:
April 20th from 9AM – 1PM: A/V Technology, Office Administration, Education, Engineering, Finance, Health Science, Hospitality & Tourism, Manufacturing, Marketing, Logistics
Job Fairs will be held at the Agriculture Extension Office in Tavares at 1951 Woodlea Rd, Tavares, FL 32778.
