Last Saturday, at ICE Theater on 87th Street, 100 youth from seven area high schools attended a second job fair hosted by the Chatham Business Association Juniors in partnership with the Department of College and Careers at Chicago Public Schools.
Letters were sent to Bowen High School, South Shore High School, Harlan Community Academy High School, Julian High School, Chicago Career Academy, Simeon Career Academy and Hirsch Metropolitan High School to tell students about the job fair. However, students from other schools came out seeking job opportunities. The fair was open to students ages 16-18.
Ninety-three of the students attended a job readiness program the week before and seven others went through the readiness program during the week through CBA Juniors.
Employers discussed job opportunities at their companies and told youth how to apply for work with their companies before they presented their resumes.
