VIDEO: Bay Port High School and the Howard-Suamico Business Professionals Association hosted their third annual career fair. The event featured more than 60 employers and nearly 2,000 students.
Bay Port High School student Rylie Dickie says attending the career fair helped her get a head start on her career.
“Last year they had this career fair, they’re like ‘Hey are you interested in becoming a firefighter?’ and I always kind of thought about it and I did have some interest in it. They had me grab some application forms and before you know it, I was signing up to be an intern over the summer,” said Dickie.
The Suamico Fire Department has hired eight students from the career fair over the last two years.
Fire Chief Joe Bertler says the students are fulfilling a need by working with the department.
