Talent at the Table
Bringing future workforce talent to the table.
Every great career starts with a conversation. Talent at the Table brings students and emerging professionals face-to-face with Interior Alaska's business, civic, and community leaders, opening doors that can shape a lifetime.
About the Program
Connecting future talent with today’s leaders.
Talent at the Table connects students and emerging workforce talent with Interior Alaska’s business, civic, and community leaders through the Fairbanks Chamber’s weekly luncheons.
Participants attend luncheons that align with their interests or career goals, hear from local speakers, and sit alongside leaders in a professional but approachable setting. This is not a formal interview or job fair. It is an introduction to the conversations, relationships, and opportunities that help shape Interior Alaska’s economy.
Participants are seated throughout the room to meet a variety of businesses and leaders, build confidence, and begin making connections in fields that interest them.
Who Can Participate?

We welcome a wide range of students and career-entry participants, including:
- High school juniors and seniors
- UAF, CTC, and trade or vocational students
- Adult learners, GED participants, and reskilling participants
- Homeschool students, apprentices, and career-entry participants
