Students from multiple Richland County schools participated in EmployMEpalooza on Wednesday.

MANSFIELD — More than 30 high school sophomores, juniors and seniors participated in a “reverse job fair” on Wednesday morning.

The students printed out resumes and listed their interests for summer jobs or opportunities after graduation. Each student had a booth at Richland Academy of the Arts and employers were invited to speak to students who they thought would match well with their companies.

The event was jointly hosted by the Richland Area Chamber & Economic Development and Ohio Means Jobs Richland County. Sponsors include the Area 10 Richland-Crawford Workforce Development Board, Richland County Job & Family Services and Community Opportunity.
