The Minneapolis Teen Job and Opportunity Fair is a great way for teens aged 14 to 19 to connect to job-search resources and find out more about available volunteer, internship, training, and employment opportunities.  More than forty businesses and organizations are expected to exhibit including TJ Maxx, Mall of America, Lunds and Byerlys, and Home Depot.

Teens should come dressed to impress, prepared to network with potential employers, and distribute resumes.  Hennepin County librarians will be on hand with laptops, a scanner, and a printer, as well as support in finding resources to support the teens’ job/career/opportunity searches.  A complete list of exhibitors can be found available on the City of Minneapolis website.  The event can also be followed on social media by using the hashtag #levelup2k16.
