The 2023 Greater Wausau Youth Hiring & Career Fest was hosted at Wausau West High School on March 2, 2023, for various high schools throughout Marathon County. This was the third year for this successful event, presented by United Way of Marathon County, Boys and Girls Club of Wausau, Wausau School District, and DC Everest Area School District. This was a great opportunity for businesses, colleges, and organizations to network with students and offer youth apprenticeships, summer employment, and part-time jobs for teens. Check out the Facebook Page for photos from this fun event.
