A community-wide event is coming to Chatham-Kent to help residents find job opportunities within the municipality.
More than 40 employers from throughout Chatham-Kent will be at the Chatham Armoury on November 15 for the CK Community Career Fair, offering both full-time and part-time career opportunities in fields such as healthcare, IT, skilled trades, agriculture, and manufacturing.
“We’ll have some employers that are looking to host interviews directly on site, so people can come with their resume, dressed for success, and walk out of there with tangible leads on great employment,” said Rosemarie Montgomery, Economic Development officer and event co-organizer, in a news release.
There will be representation from large companies as well as smaller businesses at the event hosted by Chatham-Kent Economic Development.
The Goodwill Career Centre will also be at the fair to offer a two-part presentation called “Interviewing for Success,” which involves learning about interview preparation, etiquette, best practices, and follow-up techniques.
“CK is booming. We’re seeing businesses in Chatham-Kent continue to expand and grow, and as that happens, they have more roles to fill,” said Mayor Darrin Canniff. “We’ve been hearing employers talk about needing workers and this event is about facilitating those career connections,”
The career fair runs from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m.
