Free employment fair will focus on carer opportunities, training

SPRINGFIELD, Vt. — The River Valley Workforce Investment Board will host the 2018 River Valley Employment Fair from 2 – 5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 12 at Riverside Middle School in Springfield, Vermont.

This event is free and open to the public. Representatives from area employers, employment agencies, and educational organizations will have tables set up and will be available to talk to prospective employees about the career opportunities and programs they offer.

Windsor county and surrounding area residents of all ages and various employment levels will be able to look for full or part-time jobs and look ahead to explore careers pathways and the training needed to pursue them.

This year’s Employment Fair has a dual-focus, offering opportunities for jobseekers who are unemployed and also those who are under-employed who would like to explore training, professional development opportunities, or simply find a better job.

The WIB is currently in the process of registering businesses, organizing sponsorships, and inviting county high schools, colleges, and the general public. By raising awareness of the job opportunities available to graduating high school and college students, companies will have access to well-qualified candidates ready to enter the workforce.

Employer table registration, jobseeker resources, and detailed information can be found by calling Derek Williams at (802) 885-8302 or by visiting rivervalleyemploymentfair.org.

The 2018 River Valley Employment Fair is presented by the River Valley Workforce Investment Board in partnership with River Valley Technical College, Creative Workforce Solutions, Vermont Department of Labor, Springfield Regional Chamber of Commerce, and Springfield Regional Development Corp., and is sponsored by Springfield Medical Care Systems. All are welcome.
