Businesses invited to connect students to Fairfield careers

Fairfield Area Chamber of Commerce and Fairfield High School invite all interested businesses to a Fairfield WORKS! Kickoff Event at 2 p.m. Tuesday in the 21st Century Room at the high school.

The meeting will provide an overview to the Fairfield WORKS! program, discuss different ways business partners can get involved, and gather input from the business community.

Fairfield WORKS! is a program started by the Fairfield Area Chamber of Commerce last spring with the goal of showcasing the vast array of career opportunities available in the Fairfield area to local high school students.

In addition to showcasing careers and the ?many pathways to prosperity,? students also discuss life skills, such as personal finance, insurance, resume development and interview skills, which will help them succeed as adults.

After the initial meeting Tuesday afternoon, chamber event coordinator Brittney Tiller will be following up with each interested business to discuss its role as a presenter and/or host of a session.
