With spring and summer right around the corner, Port Cares upcoming Student Summer Job Fair is a great opportunity for students looking for work said one of the agency's youth employment coordinators.

It takes place Thursday, March 21 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Port Cares office, 92 Charlotte St., Port Colborne, and employers in hospitality, general labour, food and beverage, customer service, and lawn care industries, among others, will be on hand.

Youth employment coordinator Hailey White said there will be 15 to 20 employers at the fair, most of them on site. There will be a few offsite that are part of the day.

"We do encourage everyone to be on site so they can put a name to a face and get a real feel for students and youth applying," she said.

Anyone between the ages of 15 to 29 can come in and apply.

White said those that attend the job fair should be "dressed for success" and have a copy of their resume with them.

"We'll have a spot for people to fix up their resumes if needed," she said, adding Port Cares can help people with their resumes and interview skills ahead of time if need be.

"We'll make sure their all set."

At least 100 students and youth came out to the annual job fair in the last years, many finding summer employment.

Students and youth can contact Port Cares ahead of the job fair for help at 905-834-3629 or drop in and ask at the front desk.
