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.
