District 211 seeking businesses for annual Career Expo

Palatine-Schaumburg High School District 211 will hold its 3rd annual Career Expo from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27, at William Fremd High School, 1000 S. Quentin Road in Palatine.

Open to all District 211 students, the expo gives area businesses the opportunity to showcase their variety of career opportunities, as well as inspire and guide students who may soon make up their future workforce.

Following a successful expo in 2018 that saw more than 150 business representatives meet with hundreds of students and helping them explore career options, District 211 staff began planning for future events. The second Career Expo, held in March 2019 at Schaumburg High School, saw an increase in both business and student participation.

District 211 Internship Coordinator Jan Brottman said that this year the district is aiming for about 200 business to participate. While registration has already reached more than half that, space is still available. Businesses who would like to participate can register by going to https://adc.d211.org/domain/4783 and clicking on "Business Information." There is no cost for businesses to participate.

For additional information or questions, contact Brottman at (847) 755-2657 or jbrottman@d211.org.
