The OCHS Virtual Job Fair will be live streamed on April 14th between 1:30 and 3:00 PM. The goal for this event is to enable businesses to interact with students, post their applications, links, website information, among other important items of discussion. It is also described to be a tremendous opportunity for students to develop career readiness skills, develop their resume’ and gain fiscal responsibility and independence. These skills are directly aligned with the Career Readiness, Life Literacies, and Key Skill standards set forth by the New Jersey Department of Education.
Students will begin to prepare for the fair in the days leading up to the event by determining what employers/positions they are interested in applying to, as well as updating or creating their personal resume. Students will receive a list of businesses about a week prior to the event.
