Expand your talent pool at the Jumpstart Job Fair.

Employers hiring for full-time, part-time, summer internships and work-based learning opportunities are invited to recruit juniors and graduating high school seniors.

Students prepare for the event by attending resume building, interview skills, and business dress workshops.

What is work-based learning? Work-based learning occurs as part of the standard school day and consists of approved work opportunities for classroom credit. It provides students with a hands-on work opportunity aimed at easing the transition into work-life after high school or college graduation while developing hard and soft skills.

Who qualifies for work-based learning? Only qualified high school juniors will have the opportunity to participate in and be recruited for work-based learning positions. Work-based learning programs require students to be at least 16 years old. Minors may work in Tennessee at the age of 15, see Tennessee Child Labor Laws {T.C.A. 50-5-105}. For more information on Work-based learning in Tennessee, visit TN.gov Work-based Learning website.

Space for this FREE event is limited. Registration includes one six-foot table and two chairs.
