Teen Job Fair: 
Thanks to all of our vendors and teens for participating, it was a great success
It’s a win-win situation with businesses gaining access to some of Kent’s top teen candidates and for teens getting a "one-stop shop" for summer opportunities and beyond.
If you attended last year, we are glad you were able to make it. In our evaluation, many teens stated there were great opportunities available, but want to see more businesses. We couldn’t agree more! In 2010 we look forward to adding more businesses to the event.
If you are interested in reserving a spot to present at our Teen Job Fair please visit our
