LHS College, Trade School, Military & Employment Opportunity Fair. You're invited this Wednesday, October 1, from 6:30-8:00pm to this free event. This is a valuable chance to meet directly with representatives from colleges, trade schools, military branches, and employers. Come explore your options and get answers to your questions about life after high school—whether you're planning on college, job training, military service, or jumping right into a career. Attendees should register at StriveFair.com in advance. Once registered, you'll be able to see, in real time, which institutions will be attending. The list is changing daily. The day of the fair, you’ll receive a barcode that you can share with institutions. This allows them to access your information, and you’ll receive theirs in return. The day after the fair, you'll receive an email listing all the schools you shared your information with. To register, you only need your name and email—all other information is optional. Your information is not sold or shared.
