Tribal college job fairs start next week

Press release

The Montana Post Secondary Educational Opportunities Council and the Montana Tribal Colleges will host six events starting Monday, including two in north-central Montana.

“We are very excited to offer this Tribal College/Career Fair Circuit for the 10th year in Montana,” organizers said. “It is our goal to serve hundreds of college students, high school students, non-traditional students, families, guidance counselors and community members with this event. Everyone is invited to attend for free.”

The college fairs give students an opportunity to contemplate their higher education and career options. Students can visit with representatives from in-state and out-of-state colleges and universities, technical and trade schools, military branches, agencies and career representatives.

Although the fairs are geared to college students and high school students, they are open to the general public and parents are encouraged to attend, as well. Anyone interested in pursuing post-secondary education and career research is welcome to attend.

Another highlight of the college fairs is the scholarship program and door prizes. Each fair will have $500 in scholarship money to be given away and many door prizes for people attending. The scholarships and prizes are awarded by a random drawing from the names of people who attend the Tribal College Fairs. Just by attending a fair, students can walk away with money to put toward their education.
