This event will bring
trade union representatives,
worker health and safety experts, and
professionals from a variety of fields to expose young people
(14-24) to good paying jobs with benefits after graduating high school and college. Our young people deserve all the options and support in the world as they forge their career paths, and this conference will expose them to a network that will do just that.
As a union leader or professional in your field, we would be honored if you tabled at our event's job fair to share the benefits of having a union job and what it takes to get there! If you are in a non-unionized field, our young people would still love hear about your work and connect with you!
