Students and young adults aged 16-21 who want to jumpstart their careers or find summer work and internships are invited to attend a free Summer Youth Job Fair that will be hosted by State Senator Seth Lewis (R-Bartlett) and Jennifer Sanalitro (R-Hanover Park) on Wednesday, March 18, in Bloomingdale.
As an added bonus for this year’s event, a Pre-Job Fair prep session will take place on Wednesday, March 4. The online session will offer tips on how to build an effective resume, how to dress for success, how to talk to potential employers, and other dos and don’ts to help young job and internship seekers have success. Those interested in the online session can register at this link.
“As summer approaches, high school and college students are looking for opportunities to gain experience and build practical skills,” said Lewis. “This job fair connects young people with employers who can offer hands-on learning, helping students grow in confidence while strengthening their résumés and preparing for future careers.”

Over 40 area businesses that are actively hiring for summer help, year-round employment, and/or internships will be under one roof for this high-impact hiring event. Business representatives will be able to build talent pipelines for entry-level positions and network with other businesses to boost visibility in the region.
“Attendees are encouraged to come dressed professionally and ready to interview on-site,” added Lewis. “This event brings together motivated job seekers and local employers, helping young people launch their careers while giving businesses access to homegrown talent for in-demand roles and other open positions.”
