In Northfield, students know your brand—but they may not know how to get in the door. Many want to work locally and just need a connection.

On Tuesday, March 17, we’re hosting a refreshed Work Readiness Fair at Northfield High School, connecting you directly with 10th–12th graders.

11:10–11:40 AM | Senior Fair (Media Center)

Meet one-on-one with seniors seeking local jobs—great for mini-interviews and direct recruiting.

11:40 AM–12:10 PM | Classroom Sessions

Engage 10th–11th graders in small or large groups. Share what you look for in employees, highlight openings, and offer tips to stand out.

Participation Options:

Full event (best for pipeline + immediate hires)
Senior Fair only (focus on graduating seniors)
Classroom sessions only (mentor or recruit seasonal/part-time)

Ready to help students get in the door? Contact Melissa by 3/6/2026 to reserve your spot today! melissa@northfieldchamber.com | 507-645-5604

A New Voice, A Shared Story

Hi everyone!

As I dive into my new role here at the Chamber, I’m already constantly amazed by the incredible stories happening right under our noses in Northfield. Every day I learn about a new project, a local win, or a business reaching a milestone. But here’s a little secret: you don't have to wait for us to find them!

Did you know our website features a community blog that belongs to you?

Whether you’ve hit a major business anniversary, launched a new service, or just have a local success story to tell, we want to hear it. Think of it as our digital town square—a place to keep Northfield informed and connected.

Ready to share your news? Email Melissa@NorthfieldChamber.com to submit your story. Let’s fill our feed with everything that makes our business community stand out!
