Virtual Career Fair

BrookLynk is hosting a virtual youth job fair to connect young people to job opportunities around them (mainly entry level positions). The event is on Monday, December 14th, 11-1pm. Youth will hear from employers who are looking to hire. We will have half of the hour for young people to hear from the employers and then youth will be able to speak directly to employers themselves.
