2026 College and Career Fair

In partnership with CareerSource Polk and Polk County Public Schools, this College and Career Fair provides a valuable platform for businesses, colleges, and universities to connect with motivated students and job seekers from across the region. Each participating organization will have a 10ft x 10ft booth space at the Bartow Civic Center, ideal for engaging with potential candidates and prospective students. Colleges can share program information, discuss admission requirements, and answer questions about academic and career pathways. Businesses can accept resumes, distribute information, collect applications, and even conduct on-the-spot interviews. This event is a unique opportunity to support the educational and professional growth of future community leaders.
