Employers, come be a part of the 2023 Battle Ground Public Schools Industry Fair happening Thu., Feb. 16, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Battle Ground High School (300 W. Main St.).
Businesses in and around Clark County can reserve a table at this free annual event that draws hundreds of students, families and community members actively seeking career opportunities or wanting to learn more about local employers.
This year’s Industry Fair is sponsored by Battle Ground Public Schools in partnership with Goodwill Industries of the Columbia-Willamette, WorkSource Southwest Washington and Next Success.
Recent attendees include the city of Battle Ground, Rotschy Inc., CalPortland, Transportation Security Administration, Dollar Tree Warehouse, Wendy’s, Prairie Electric, the Clark County Sheriff’s Office and many more.
“The industry fair gives us early exposure to students as young as 16 years old who may be interested in a career in the construction industry,” said Paul Hanson with Rotschy Inc. “We’ve found an eager workforce, and students have found an entry point to a stable career with living-wage jobs right out of high school.”
