Spencerport High School held its first annual job fair on June 7, where area employers met with seniors on opportunities in the workforce after graduation.
Seniors, who are still undecided on their next chapter, learned about construction, education, law enforcement, manufacturing, trades, landscaping, automotive, and jobs at companies such as Tops and Wegmans. In addition, students came prepared with questions and resumes. One student said of the fair, “It opened up my eyes to opportunities I didn’t know existed.” Another added, “It made me more confident for after high school.”
Business representatives also weighed in saying, “The students were engaged and came with great questions. (The fair) gave our company a chance to be in front of potential employees, and that is a worthwhile experience.”
Businesses that participated in the district’s first job fair included Campus Construction, Monroe 2 BOCES, Town of Ogden, Fossil Rock Landscape, Tops, Wegmans, Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, Ironworkers of Rochester, West Herr Automotive, Gorbel, and Spencerport Human Resources.
