2026 Career Connections Mock Interview Sign-up Form

Event Information

Career Connections is one of the region's most popular annual events for youth. In this unique setting hundreds of local area high school students get the chance to practice their interviewing skills with area employers.

Please join us on Thursday, April 23rd, 2026, from 9:00 am-1:30 pm
Location: Chemeketa Community College, 4000 Lancaster Dr. NE. Building 7

We invite you to participate as a mock interviewer! You do not have to be in a hiring position to conduct interviews. Interviewing can be for any block of time that you are available.

Please fill out the following survey with your availability. You will receive communication about next steps soon after. We look forward to seeing you at Career Connections!

A notable change this year is that the Salem-Keizer School District is requiring background checks for all mock interviewers. The background checks are conducted at no charge to you. There will be a few additional questions in our survey as a result. In addition, you must check the box at the end of the form giving SKSD permission to run your information through their system. Not checking this box may delay your opportunity to volunteer.

If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact Kathy Moore at 503-930-5555 or via email: kmoore@willwp.org

Thank you to our title sponsor Maps Community Foundation, our community partners Willamette Workforce Partnership, Chemeketa Community College, Salem Keizer School District, and the 300 volunteers it takes to put this event together.
