Youth Career Fair
YWCA Quad Cities is excited to host its third annual Youth Career Fair, providing local youth with the opportunity to explore a wide range of career paths and summer employment opportunities. The free event is open to all youth throughout the Quad Cities community.
In past years, the career fair focused on a single industry. This year, the event is expanding to feature a variety of career fields, giving attendees broader exposure and more opportunities to connect directly with local employers.
Participating organizations include Whitey’s Ice Cream, Estes Construction, Crawford Company, East Moline Fire Department, and many more. Representatives will be available to discuss career pathways, job requirements, and available summer positions.
