COMMUNITY JOB FAIR
11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 23
Athletics Center
A national initiative by members of the U.S. House of Representatives to match those seeking work with those needing workers is coming to Penn State New Kensington.
Rep. Mark Critz, D-Johnstown, is hosting a “Job Hunters’ Boot Camp” from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 23, in the campus Athletics Center. The community-based job fair is an opportunity for unemployed and under-employed residents of the Alle-Kiski Valley to find out which local businesses are hiring. More than 50 recruiters, from companies such as ATI Allegheny Ludlum, Leed’s and McCutcheon Enterprises Inc., will be available to provide information on career changes, including education and training options. Depending on a business’ needs, there may opportunities to fill out an application, submit a resume and even get an interview.
Current campus students and recent grads can learn about internships as well as full- and part-time job openings. Seminars on resume writing and job searching are a part of the program. In addition, aspiring entrepreneurs can attend a seminar on how to start a small business.
The event is free to the public, and participants can register at the door. Preparation by job-seekers should include planning on what recruiters to visit, researching the companies, polishing the resume, and dressing as a business professional.
For more information on the job fair, contact Sarah Smith, 724-434-2620, 1-800-289-2642 or Sarah.Smith914@mail.house.gov via email.
