The Learning Leaders Share Fairs 2008

It’s spring, and that means it’s time for a new group of students to experience a Learning Leaders Career Day. The Learning Leaders Share Fair is an opportunity for companies and organizations to present themselves to groups of inquisitive and enthusiastic young students, eager to learn about possible career paths from individuals who’ve taken them. Participation will inspire future job-seekers, as well as underscore the importance of giving back to the community. If you or your organization would like to take part, please contact us.
