2021 Senior Job Fair
Ellis County has a plethora of young, untapped talent ready to make career decisions, as well as dynamic companies looking for individuals to make long-term employees. Seeing the need to connect these two groups, the Ellis County 4-H and Waxahachie ISD Career and Technical Department is reaching out to our local community by hosting a job fair for the Senior Class of 2021.
This event is designed for students wanting to enter the workforce upon graduation. We need help identifying WHS Seniors that fit this category. If you know of students that would benefit from this opportunity, we will have two waves they may sign up for: 10 a.m.-12 p.m. or 12 p.m.-2 p.m. They will be given a ticket to present to their teachers and a bus will be provided to transport students to and from the event. A field trip list will also be provided to teachers for reference.
Educating students about what opportunities are available post-graduation is the next step in ensuring their future success. Thank you for your help in starting them on the right path!
Please find details for this win/win event below, along with a link for students to register.
