JA Inspire Virtual Career Fair Will Connect Students to Local Employers with vFairs as Technology Partner

Partnering with the Junior Achievement of the Bluegrass and Junior Achievement of West Kentucky, the virtual career fair will promote work readiness for students and offer a platform for employers to showcase their workforce.

Bowling Green, Kentucky – After a whopping success with more than 60 booths available for discovery last year, the JA Inspire Virtual Career Fair is back for another round. The virtual career fair will take place from November 16, 2022 through May 16, 2023. The event is open for registrations for junior and senior high school students and young professionals who want to explore their career options. Anyone who wishes to join the event can register here.

The 6-month virtual career fair is a wonderful opportunity for students to learn more about planning their career, exploring their options, and getting in touch with local businesses. The time they spend at JA Inspire Virtual Career Fair can help them learn more about career cluster focuses, assessing their own skills, and gathering information from local companies.

Students can get necessary information through the accompanying Student Curriculum to set them up before the event. They can visit virtual booths from organizations from various industries in the greater KY area, download helpful resources from exhibitors, tune in to expert advice through recorded webinars, and work on developing soft skills and work readiness.

Local businesses from 62 counties have the opportunity to highlight their businesses and open up to a pool of fresh and young talent through the virtual career fair. During last year’s event, more than 27,000 total overall booth visits were conducted, resulting in greater ROI for businesses and sponsors. Potential sponsors and exhibitors can get more information about the event here.

“We are thrilled to partner with Junior Achievement of the Bluegrass and Junior Achievement of West Kentucky to offer JA Inspire Virtual to students and young adults alike,” said Allie Sharp, President of Junior Achievement of South Central Kentucky.  “JA Inspire Virtual is an effective and simple way to promote your business and institution of higher education to students and young professionals. These participants benefit tremendously from learning about job opportunities that are available today and tomorrow.”

“The JA Inspire Virtual Career Fair is a fantastic platform for young professionals to enhance their skills and set up their own career path. Youth is our future and I am glad to see that the vFairs platform is acting as a technology bridge for such events.” said Muhammad Younas, CEO of vFairs.
