\nKPBSD juniors and seniors to attend career and job fair<\/i><\/b><\/span>
\nSoldotna, March 17, 2014\u2014The annual Peninsula Job and Career Fair, billed as the biggest recruitment event on the Kenai Peninsula, will be Wednesday, March 26, 2014, 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., at the Peninsula Job Center in Kenai, Alaska. KPBSD and the Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOLWD) will once again partner to deliver resume writing, interviewing, and work ethics training in preparation for this event.<\/b>

More than sixty employers will be present to speak to job seekers about their current and future job openings. KPBSD students who plan to attend must sign-up through their school counselor, and bring several copies of their resume to provide to employers. Transportation is provided by KPBSD.
\nKPBSD is happy to once again be able to partner with the DOLWD,\u201d said John O\u2019Brien, director of secondary education and student activities. \u201cOur students benefit from access to their professionals working together with our school counselors and career guides on resume writing, interviewing, and work ethics training skills.

Attending the job fair is an outstanding opportunity for students to speak directly to employers about short and long-term employment, learn about labor demands, and make local connections.
