In March, the Chamber enjoyed participating in two career events at our local high schools. Oil City hosted a Career & College Fair and Rocky Grove held a Search & Work event. We love seeing students connecting with employers as they start planning for their futures.

There are two upcoming career events, with opportunities for employers to participate.

Titusville H.S. | Career Day | Thursday, May 5th
Current needs include volunteers for an “Employer Expectations” panel speaking to students on what employees should know entering the workplace. There will also be a Career & College Fair. To participate, contact Tammy McHenry: tmchenry@gorockets.org or (814) 827-2715 ext. 1430.

Venango Technology Center | Student Employment Event | Wednesday, May 11th
This event is geared towards employers who are ready to hire graduating seniors or recent VTC graduates from the past 3 years. Employers can complete this Google form: bit.ly/seestudent2022 or contact Sarah Campbell: scampbell@vtc1.org or (814) 677-3097 x1137.

Contact Kat to discuss how you or your business can benefit from engaging in education events.

I’m inspired by many of the students I’ve had the pleasure of meeting at the local high schools. Their drive and resilience will only grow as they move on to post-secondary education or training and careers. As employers and educators, it is important for us to be involved in these programs to set examples for students and provide experiences to shape and impact their ambitions and goals for the future.
– Casey McVay, Associate Director of Admissions, Clarion University of Pennsylvania
