The Mohawk Council of Akwesasne and the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe are co-hosting an Indigenous Student Career Fair on April 15, 2026, to help young people find local work. The event will take place at the A’nowara’kó:wa Arena on Kawehnó:ke (Cornwall Island), Ontario, to connect students with employers and summer job opportunities.
The fair is open to students from Grade 7 all the way through post-secondary school. Attendees can meet with local businesses to learn about different career paths, internships, and available summer positions in the region.
To make the day more interactive, organizers are using a Career Passport program. Students can pick up a passport at the fair and collect stamps by visiting different booths and asking questions to exhibitors.
Those who complete their passports will be entered for a chance to win prizes like laptops and iPads. According to the official announcement, the fair runs from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Bus transportation is being provided to help students get to the arena on Cornwall Island. This event is part of a larger effort to help local youth find jobs and build their careers within their own community.
