Teen Job Fair held at Arlington Hts. library

The Arlington Heights Youth Commission teamed up with the Arlington Heights Memorial Library for the village's second annual Teen Job Fair on Saturday.

Twenty businesses were present, with tables arranged around the walls of an upstairs meeting room.

"Most of them are local Arlington Heights businesses here to connect with local Arlington Heights teens," said Kari Olson, a volunteer on the Arlington Heights youth commission.

Olson said that large corporations, such as Target, Jewel, Mariano's and Chipotle were present, as well as smaller businesses, park districts, school districts and special recreation associations.
