Student Hiring Fair

Local Business Partners - Sumter County Schools will be hosting a Hiring Fair for students on Friday, May 15, 2026 from 9:30am-12:30pm at South Sumter High School in Bushnell, FL. 

Twelfth graders from South Sumter High School, The Villages High School, and Wildwood Middle High School looking for employment upon graduation will be invited to participate.  Juniors from all schools are also invited to participate in the event for possible summer employment or part-time/OJT options.

The Sumter Student Hiring Fair has 3 main objectives:

1.       Provide access to the student talent pool for local employers seeking employees.

2.       Facilitate a networking opportunity for local businesses with potential employees approaching high school graduation.

3.       Create a learning opportunity for all students regarding local careers, positions available, and the interviewing process.

Please note that all local employers are invited to join us. At this event, we do prefer that employers provide initial interviews for immediate or upcoming open positions to students for full-time employment (graduating seniors) or part-time employment (juniors/seniors).
