The event was held in the Royal Taga Ballroom of Saipan World Resort and drew the participation of over 100 students.
Marianas High School teacher Tyce Mister said the turnout was almost the same as last year’s.
The participating students were from Marianas High School, Kagman High School, Saipan Southern High School, Rota High School cooperative education and training program and the special education transition program.
Mister said 16 students flew in from Rota but there was none from Tinian.
Kealany Camacho and her classmates from Kagman High School — Jazz Manglona, Debra Buekis and Jay Charley — said they submitted several application letters to companies that joined the fair. Camacho plans to join the U.S. Army after graduating from high school.
Ray Deleon Guerrero, job coach for Marianas High School’s special education program, said he assisted seven student applicants.
“I see to it that the students go through the transition program smoothly — from submitting their applications and facilitating transportation when they get calls for interviews later,” Deleon Guerrero said.
He said as much as possible, they urge the students to submit many applications and explore a wide field of experience in various jobs.
