Mayor Bill Gluba will welcome students to his third annual Teen Job Fair at the RiverCenter on April 23.
The job fair, from 3 to 6 p.m., will feature employers taking applications and workshops on interviewing and résumé writing for teens between the ages of 15-19.
More than 1,000 teens attended the previous two job fairs, including 600 in the first year.
"We brought area businesses together and made it easy for teens to meet them, attend workshops and apply for jobs right on the spot," Gluba said. "We were happy to do our part to help put young people on a path to economic opportunity."
Representatives from the City of Davenport, NorthPark and South Park malls, Hy-Vee and Happy Joe's are expected to be on hand to talk to teens and give out applications.
As teens enter the event this year, they will receive a passport and be directed to attend workshops before visiting with businesses. Someone who attends the workshops will win a $100 Visa gift card.
An area will be provided where teens can fill out job applications. Pens will be available.
Participants will also be asked to fill out a feedback form. For more information, call (563) 326-7701 or email khatfield@ci.davenport.ia.us.
