Young Adults can get a summer job through the Employment Services of Weld County Young Adult Fair and the City of Greeley, according to a news release on March 12. 

Leslie Galindo, ESWC Youth Employment and Training Navigator, said that the network opportunities offered by the Young Adult Fair are vital, especially before a busy hiring season.

“Employers have begun hiring for their summer staff,” she said. “Meeting young adults at this job fair enables them to schedule interviews during spring break and onboard them in time for summer training,” Galindo added.

The free event is at the Island Grove Event Center, 401 N. 14th Ave. in Greeley. Young Adults ages 14 to 24 can apply for long or short-term employment. At the event, job seekers can meet local employers from various industries looking to hire young people. They can also take a headshot and work with employment professionals who will help them create a resume. 

The employers offer jobs in manufacturing, health care, government, nonprofit, and recreation industries. According to officials, in 2024, over 600 job seekers attended the Young Adult Fair, which is an opportunity for employers to enhance and expand their workforce. 

 Efrain Cano, ESWC Business Services Representative, said hiring young adults brings several advantages to businesses. 

“Young adults offer fresh perspectives, adaptability, and a strong willingness to learn. Many young workers are tech-savvy, energetic, and open to new challenges, making them valuable assets in fast-paced and evolving industries,” said Cano. “Additionally, hiring young employees helps companies build a pipeline of future leaders and fosters a diverse and dynamic workplace.”
