EHS students are invited to attend the upSTRTER Career Fair on Thursday 10/19, a career-focused event at The Mill in Bloomington.

If you are a student in a business class, a 12th-grade English class, or someone who is interested in opening their own business after high school, this opportunity is for you!

UpSTRTER, the STudent Resource fair for Trades & Entrepreneurship Recruitment, is a partnership between the Chamber and The Mill and teaches high school students about local career opportunities available and how to make the most of those opportunities, while giving them a chance to talk face-to-face with employers. The goal of the fair is for students to learn how to get started in rewarding careers and also how to start their own business.

High school students from any grade are welcome! Local businesses and employers will have booths set up at the event to interact and engage with students. Some employers may be hiring, and welcoming students to fill out job applications. All booths will be available to talk with students about the career opportunities within their industry and offer tips on finding a career or starting a business. Along with businesses in the trades industries, Ivy Tech will also present materials on their Free trainings through the Workforce Readiness Grant as well as their Entrepreneurship program. The Mill will give tours and talk about the entrepreneurial community in this area.

To sign up for this field trip opportunity here’s what you need to do:

1) Complete the Google Form linked to the EHS announcements page: https://forms.gle/Yz1oyCFkfNinVdzZA

2) Look for additional information through the daily announcements and your school email about how to prepare for the Career Fair
