We encourage businesses to participate in both the Senior Hiring Fair (AM) and the ACE Reverse Hiring Fair (PM), but understand if scheduling or other factors don’t allow this.

The Senior Hiring Fair (AM) is a traditional format with businesses set up at tables and students browsing. Students will have resumes and be prepared to interview on the spot if needed. ASCENT students (first year community college) will also be in attendance.

The ACE Reverse Hiring Fair (PM) flips the traditional job fair model: instead of employers setting up booths, job seekers create displays to showcase their skills and experiences. Employers then visit the booths to meet with candidates whose qualifications match their needs. This format allows job seekers to demonstrate their abilities in a relaxed setting while offering businesses access to high-quality, often overlooked candidates. It also reduces logistical costs for employers and encourages more meaningful conversations. For ACE students, the event provides valuable networking, exposure to different industries, and the opportunity to build confidence in presenting their strengths.
