Below are some details regarding the event:
The Career Fair event is scheduled for Wednesday, March 6, 2024
The event will be held at Alvernia University PLEX complex (400 Saint Bernardine Street, Reading).
The event will be held from 10:00 am- 1:00 pm. Career Fair participants will be able to arrive by 9:00 am to set up their space.
We will have approximately 450 8th-grade students joining us from both Southern Middle School and West Middle School.
There will be rotations and students will move between different sessions. You should expect approximately 120 students in the event space at a time.
Students are given a scavenger hunt-type form that requires answers to a variety of work-related questions. The form also provides conversation starters. This event also provides our students with the opportunity to practice those soft skills like greeting others, starting a conversation, shaking hands, eye contact, etc.
