Little Elm youth council schedules April job fair to connect 15-to-19-year-olds with local employers
Summary
The Little Elm Youth Council announced an April 11 job fair for 15- to 19-year-olds, combining interview coaching and a traditional career fair with support from the Chamber of Commerce and town staff.
Members of the Little Elm Youth Council presented a plan on Tuesday for a townwide job fair designed to connect local businesses with students and teens seeking seasonal work and internships.
"We are specifically working towards a job fair," said Jacquuez (Speaker 9), one of the youth council members. The event is scheduled for April 11, 2026, from 10AM to 12PM at the Little Elm ISD administrative building and will target young people ages 15 to 19. The first hour is planned as an interview-preparation workshop, followed by a traditional job-fair format with booths and employer tables.
Nidhi (Speaker 8), the youth council communications officer, said the group expects more than a dozen businesses to attend and that the Chamber of Commerce will help recruit employers and provide interview coaching. "From 10 to 11, were thinking about posting an overview for what to expect when having job interviews so people who havent necessarily interviewed before know what to expect," she said.
Town staff and the mayor expressed strong support for the youth-run initiative and offered help with outreach and logistics; staff liaisons will assist with business contacts and on-site programming.
The youth council said the fair aims to keep employment opportunities local so students do not need to travel outside Little Elm for seasonal positions.
