Job Fairs
Each year Employment Services hosts two Job Fairs - one in the Fall and one in the Spring - including many local employers who are actively seeking qualified applicants. These events are free and open to the community as well as WCC students and alumni.
The job fairs to be conducted during the 2009–2010 academic year will be as follows: The Fall Job Fair will be held on October 28, 2009, and will focus on the career field of Culinary Arts/Hospitality Management. Next year's Spring Job Fair and Non-Profit Showcase will take place on Thursday, March 25, 2010. Approximately fifty employers, from all fields of work, are expected to attend as well as twenty local non-profit agencies who will be on hand to discuss the services and resources available through their organizations. Both fairs will be held in the Morris Lawrence Building.
