For Businesses: Interested in sponsoring this event and/or hosting a booth to highlight your company or organization?
The St. Paul Area Chamber is inviting businesses to participate in Career Connect to connect and engage with local high school students and expose them to career options before they make decisions about post-high school education and training; at the end of the day, you will connect with job-seekers to promote your company and open positions, and even take resumes or conduct interviews in networking areas in the space. This is not your typical trade show! We encourage you to get creative in how you structure your booth and, especially for the students, offer hands-on activities, utilize technology, and staff your booth with someone who is close in age to the students when possible to authentically connect with them.
If you are interested in hosting a booth at Career Connect, please complete and submit this form, and we will follow up with details.
The deadline to purchase a sponsorship package or booth is Friday, September 8, 2023. If you have questions, please email us at events@stpaulchamber.com.
For Schools: Help your students discover their path on October 17!
The St. Paul Area Chamber invites St. Paul area high schools to participate in Career Connect. We encourage district leaders, school career counselors, and teachers to bring high school students to connect and engage with local businesses and expose them to career options before they make decisions about post-high school education and training. Last year we had tremendous success and we look forward to expanding this year! Students will have 90 minutes to explore career pathways and engage with local businesses and organizations. We have six time slots, which are available on a first-come, first-served basis, between 9 am and 3 pm. This is not your typical trade show! We are encouraging participating businesses to get creative in how they structure their booth, offering hands-on activities, utilizing technology, and staffing their booth with someone who is close in age to the students when possible.
We are working to get busing costs covered for all participating schools once again this year. The Ramsey County Workforce Innovation Board (WIB) will be sponsoring transportation, and we are working on additional sponsorships to broaden our reach this year.
The sign-up form is coming soon! Please check back for updates if you are interested in participating in Career Connect! If you have questions, please email our event manager, Alicia Baraga, or call 651.485.3242.

The St. Paul Area Chamber is expanding this event to offer a job fair open to adult job seekers looking to connect with our Chamber members and additional companies and organizations. Please join us on Tuesday, October 17, from 4 to 6 pm. Companies will be organized by sectors, so you can connect with people in areas you are interested in. These businesses will be able to provide information about their organization and industry, current job openings, training required to apply, and answer questions. Some may also take resumes or conduct interviews on site. This will be a wonderful opportunity to connect with numerous businesses all in one place!
