Companies Sought for TPP’s Career Awareness Fair

The Patuxent Partnership reminds companies interested in participating in the Spark! Student Career Awareness Fair from 8am to 2pm Thursday, March 13, 2025, that the deadline to sign up is January 15.

The career fair is designed to provide an interactive, hands-on experience for students to explore various career options. This is not a job fair; TPP is seeking companies that can offer engaging booths where students can actively participate and learn about the educational and career pathways required to enter different fields.

The deadline to register for a table is January 15. To register your company, please use this link.

The event will be held at the University System of Maryland Southern Maryland SMART Building at 44219 Airport Road in California, MD.

Those interested in learning more about the event, should email Chris Abell at [email protected].
