Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

About 225 Post Falls, Lakeland and Genesis Prep Academy students — 105 more than last year — spent time researching careers before declaring a certain field of interest for the fair. The event, sponsored by the Post Falls Chamber of Commerce, also drew 160 professionals.

Students set up booths presenting their strengths, interests, business cards, resumes and cover letters.

Professionals in similar fields then interviewed and critiqued the students, a reversal of typical job fairs.
