Penn High School invites companies/organizations to participate in Job Fair

Penn High School will host a Summer Work Opportunities Fair through May 10.

Companies and organizations are invited to visit Penn during lunch to recruit and potentially hire students. We are looking for any type of work experience for students – welding, fast food, construction, grocery stores, banking, summer camps, paid, unpaid, etc.

The Details:

– Please fill out this form to attend the fair.

– Dates: Now-through-May 10.

– Time: 11 a.m.-2 p.m. EDT

– We will have 5-8 companies/organizations per day at Penn.

– Each company/organization will be given two days minimum, more if space allows.

– We will provide you with a space on the stage in our cafeteria during all four lunches, a 6-foot table and chairs.

– We ask that you provide a one page information sheet for all the positions you have available.  Please include company, a job description, any requirements like age, pay or range if applicable, responsibilities, and any other important information. Please include the document in the above form or email them to Penn High School Assistant Principal Josiah Parker. (jparker@phm.k12.in.us)

– We will communicate with students what companies/organizations will be at lunch each day and provide your information via a page on our website. Your company information and job postings will be included on the website. We will also promote this to our students at school, in our newsletter, and via our social media.

– A background check from each person attending is required before anyone comes to school. Please allow a few days for processing. You may download the form here and return it to Assistant Principal Josiah Parker via email at jparker@phm.k12.in.us.

– It is up to you how you use these days. If you would like to hold interviews, you can be provided with a quiet area. You may just provide information, speak with students and ask them to apply later, have applications for students to fill out, request interviews with students at a later date, whatever works for you.

– Penn High School is only helping to create the connections between you and students. Unless you require Student-Learner exemptions described, below we will not be a part of this hiring and working process.

Additional Legal Comments:

– Workers under 18.

The department of labor allows for many exemptions with Student-Learners under the age of 18 as long as they are enrolled in a school course. If you fall within those limitations we will offer a summer internship course through the high school for students so they can qualify for these  exemptions. Here is more information.

Liability.

If you have concerns on the liability of student coverage, contact Assistant Principal Josiah Parker.
