Employer in the Foyer

Sponsored and coordinated by STEP, Employer in the Foyer is a job fair held at each high school in the final weeks of the school year.  Employers offer immediate employment opportunities to graduating seniors planning to go directly into the workforce after graduation, as well as part-time summer employment. This event also gives high school students exposure to local companies, careers, and the benefits of staying in the Twin Counties.  

 

The 2026 Employer in the Foyer event was held in eight high schools with over 700 students in attendance and 22 recruiting companies.
