Promote Your Business and Find Future Employees–LHS Career Fair on March 20
Free tables are available for the Lakewood High School (LHS) Career Fair, Friday, March 20 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in the John Potts Richardson Gymnasium, Lakewood High School, 855 Somerset Avenue. Promote your business, find future employees, and help students prepare for employment at the LHS Career, sponsored by the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce.
Menashe Miller, executive director of the Lakewood Chamber, said, “A Career Fair is extremely beneficial to make students aware of the opportunities, careers, and jobs that are available. It helps students think about the educational and skill requirements they need.”
Lisa Gallicchio, chairwoman of the Lakewood Chamber Educational Committee and director of community relations for Preferred Home Health Care & Nursing Services, Eatontown, said, “This is a great chance for the business community to meet future employees. Nothing could be more helpful than to speak to a person face-to-face.”
Gay Huggins-Dickey, the SLE/PALS (Structured Learning Experience/Pupil Assisted Leaning Services) coordinator at LHS who is coordinating the Career Fair with the Lakewood Chamber and the business community, said, “A career or job fair gives students access to local business opportunities and insight about careers, such as police officers, state troopers, administrative assistants, shipping and receiving clerks, any branch of the U.S. military, electricians and plumbers, or customer service representatives, among many others.
“These students are our future and we must do all we can to invest in them now so they may become the productive citizens we will need tomorrow.”
