SEEKING COMPANIES TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FAIR.

• By registering, companies agree to have interactive, hands-on, demonstrative booths. The more students can actively participate, the better!)
• This is NOT a job fair with recruiters handing out job postings. We want students to have an engaging experience, while learning about potential careers, to include understanding the path required to get there!

The Spark! fair is funded by the Rural Maryland Council (RMC)
