Too many high school students are graduating from high school without knowing all the amazing career opportunities right in their own hometown! The Chamber of Commerce is seeking to give Fairfield High School students a closer look at the possible careers at Fairfield Businesses and some of the pathways to get there.

Fairfield High School students are invited on FCSD's In-service Days to visit Fairfield Businesses to learn about the business, job and career opportunities, and tips from HR how to prepare to enter the workforce to secure the job they want!. This program is relevant to both students planning to obtain a college degree and those who plan to directly enter the workforce after high school.

Meet.  Greet.  Connect.  Repeat.  That’s the recipe for the Fairfield Area Chamber of Commerce Speed Networking Event set for Tuesday, March 21 at the Best Western Fairfield Inn.

7:15-8:15pm - SPEED NETWORKING

​
Whether you're breaking into the Fairfield market or established, Speed Networking is a great way to make more solid business contacts in a shorter amount of time than on your own.  Don't miss this opportunity to grow your business!

Participants will sit across from each other and are given four minutes to conduct an information-sharing conversation.  When the bell rings, the group is rotated around the table.  Each person will have the opportunity to meet as many people as an hour will allow with a chance to continue conversations afterwards.
 
If you are nervous about what to say, stop by or call the Chamber office and we would be happy to offer some tips and techniques or even do a practice round with you!

​Are you paying too much as a business owner for your credit card merchant services? Chad Shellmyer, NXGEN Payment Services, will help you answer that question! Join the Fairfield Area Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, March 30 for ‘Uncovering the Costs of Credit Cards’. We will offer two sessions of this program to best serve our area businesses. The morning session will be from 7:45-9:00am while the lunchtime session will be from 11:45am-1:00pm. Both sessions will be held in the upstairs conference room at Revelations Café and Bookstore. 

Shellmyer will be giving a background of various types of credit cards, processors, who they are, what they do, and how they make money from your transactions. He will also be able to address if it is best to buy or lease equipment depending on different scenarios, how to keep your client’s information secure, and the best way to keep your costs down as you process these transactions.

The event is FREE for Chamber Members and others are welcome for a $10 fee. Pre-registration is required. For more information or to register, please call the Chamber at 641-472-2111 or email Brittney at Events@FairfieldIowa.com.
