May 5, Thursday of next week,
the senior class at Vernonia high
school, accompanied by instruct­
ors, Mrs. Ora Bolmeier and Gor­
don Crowston, will travel to Salem
to participate in the Oregon Job
Fair which will be held May 4
through 6 in the commercial build­
ing on the Oregon State fair
grounds.
This is the first year for the
three-day exposition but plans are
to hold it annually henceforth.
Over 8,000 students from 150 high
schools in Oregon are expected to
attend. Each school attends on the
one day assigned to them in order
for all to be accomodated.
The purpose of the job fair is to
bring high school youth together
with Oregon employers so they
may discuss job qualifications in
relation to student post-high school
intentions. The fair is also aimed
at promoting a closer relationship
between school administrators,
counselors and the business com­
munity for future exchanges of in­
formation and job opportunities.
Kenneth Waldroff, Salem, direc­
tor of the job fair for the division
of continuing education, reports
that 55 exhibit booths have been
reserved for display purposes by
businesses, industries and govern­
mental agencies.
Exhibitors in the booths include
23 individual companies, 16 asso­
ciations representing many busi­
ness groups, five state agencies,
four city agencies and three feder­
al agencies. Waldroff said that be­
tween 100 and 150 major job class­
ifications are represented among
the exhibitors.
Officials from these firms will
confer with the students and school
counselors to explain the employ­
ment requirements and opportuni­
ties for those who plan to enter the
job market following high school
graduation. The job fair is directed
at students who have industrial or
technical interests and do not plan
to attend college.
Governor Mark Hatfield will of­
ficially open the job fair at 10 a.m.
on May 4. An open house period
will be held the night of May 5 dur­
ing which parents and the general
public may tour the exhibits and
talk to the various company repre­
sentatives. There is no admission
charge for job fair visitors, Wald­
roff said.
Counselors have been provided
with a list of exhibitors describing
each industry to be displayed at
the fair. Students are requested
to submit a preferential list of ex­
hibits they would like to visit on
a small group basis. Two formal
counseling sessions are scheduled
in the morning and two sessions
in the afternoon with business and
industrial representatives. Each
counseling session will be approx­
imately 25 minutes in duration.
During the remainder of time,
students will be free to visit all the
exhibits on an informal basis. The
counselors will receive a follow-up
list indicating which booths stu­
dents actually visited for post­
counseling sessions.
This feature will insure counsel­
ors and business representatives
that the students attending the jcb
fair, used their time profitably.
