Teen job fair participants weigh in

Pikes Peak Workforce Center hosted a job fair for teens March 7, and 900 to 1,000 youth attended, said Jeanne Cotter, spokeswoman for the employment service in Colorado Springs.

Several teens who blogged about their experiences on a Gazette-hosted blog, however, had no luck securing jobs from companies at the fair.

Names of those who reigstered will be placed on file to be referrred for jobs from other employers who announce openings in the next few months, Cotter said.
