Upcoming Polk College Fair Still Has Open Spaces For Businesses, Universities To Attend

POLK COUNTY, FL — The Polk County District College Fair will host its first in-person event in March since the pandemic began, a Polk County Public School news release said.

Another first for the fair is it will include employers in addition to colleges. Representatives from more than 60 colleges and businesses are registered to attend.

“We want to increase access and opportunities for students and parents by expanding the fair to include employers,” Monique Byrd, PCPS’ college and career specialist, said. “We hope that families will take advantage of the opportunity to meet with representatives in person, and receive the information and resources they need to start thinking about enrollment, enlistment, or employment after high school!”

The fair will be held on March 10 from 6-8 p.m. at Florida Southern College’s Jenkins Field House.
The free event is open to all students and families. Colleges and employers can sign up here to participate.
