Businesses are being sought out by the St. Joseph Employment Coalition for the 11th annual Career and Resource Fair.
“We are about 2/3rds full with employers we are still seeking any type of employer,” said Nshan Erganian, Employment Coalition Chair. “It is very diverse, anything from manufacturing, sales, retail, healthcare and everything in-between that are simply looking to find good perspective employees and have openings available within their companies.”
Area employers wanting to participate in the 2015 Career and Resource Fair can sign-up for free by clicking here or by contacting Jennifer Whitson at (816) 390-8083.
Erganian said usually around 80 employers take part.
“You’ll have everything from the largest manufactures in the community, right now we have nine out of the top 10 largest employers already on board down to the small business that may employ, six, eight, 10 employees,” he said. “They key really is the diversity so there’s something there for everybody.”
The event will take place April 7 at the Civic Arena. The event will open to the public from 2 to 5 p.m. but will open to High School Seniors at 1 p.m.
“We are going to be focusing strictly on high school seniors with the St. Joseph School District and the surrounding school districts,” Erganian said. “The seniors will have an opportunity to look at perspective employers but also some perspective colleges and universities depending what route they’re going.”
Erganian said businesses wanting to take part should register before the end of March.
