The Bethel Area Chamber of Commerce has announced an event that brings together the community’s employers, students, and job seekers. On Nov. 14, it is hosting a Job Fair & Expo at Telstar High School.
In partnership with the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) chapter at Telstar High School, this event is designed to help bridge the gap between education and employment by giving students and community members direct access to local businesses who are hiring, offering internships, or simply eager to connect with future talent.
Here’s what you need to know:
Student Job Fair: 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Open exclusively to high school students
This portion of the fair is tailored for students who are exploring career paths, seeking part-time employment, or interested in internships. Through this experience, students will learn valuable skills — from professional networking to resume-building — while interacting with real-world employers. It is a collaboration with FBLA students, who are not only participating but helping organize and run the event as part of their leadership and career development initiatives.
Community Job Fair: 3 – 4:30 p.m.
Open to the general public
From entry-level jobs to skilled positions, this portion of the event invites job seekers from across the community to meet with a wide variety of local employers. For those who are looking for a new opportunity, reentering the workforce, or seeking a career change, this is a chance to make meaningful connections close to home.
This job fair represents more than a chance to find work — it’s a celebration of community collaboration. By working side-by-side with local FBLA students, the fair is empowering young leaders and fostering a culture of growth, innovation, and opportunity.
Local businesses are invited to join in investing in the future — not only by finding great employees but by mentoring the next generation of professionals. Any business that would like to participate as an employer, please contact the Bethel Area Chamber of Commerce office at 207-824-2282.
