- Location: Darlington High School gym
- Event Details from the coordinators: After the success of last year's career fair and overwhelming requests from students to host another, we thought we would make this an annual event! Our goal is to expose Darlington students to all of the area businesses, and to promote opportunities, and career pathways locally! This will be a great opportunity to meet with students, share what you do, and just maybe inspire a student to pursue a career in your field! The fair will be set up in our gym and each business will be provided a table and chairs. Students will be assigned in small groups to rotate through the career fair. You will not be overwhelmed by the whole student body! Students will have a set of guidelines and expectations to achieve the full benefit of the event!
