Helping Children And Families Live Successfully.
Dogwood Village's annual Career Fair is the perfect opportunity to come out and spend time with the kids as well as talk about goal setting and life long ambitions. You can share information about your profession and discuss potential openings within your company. We encourage anyone that is interested to take part in the event. The Career and Interest Fair is held in October of year (Participation is free of charge and lunch is provided.
Youth in attendance will be between 8 and 18. Each company will be provided with an eight foot table and two chairs. Feel free to bring brochures, props, displays and handouts to better engage the kids.
Last year Dogwood Village hosted volunteer participants from A.C.H. Foods, American Eagle, BancorpSouth, Comtrak, FedEx Express, Hyatt Place, International Paper, Magna, Methodist North Hospital, NexAir, Southwest Tennessee Community College, U.S. Army, and Youth Villages.
We would like to give a special thanks to those companies for making last year such a huge success. The kids greatly appreciated your participation.
