Area job seekers and community members considering a career change will have an opportunity to network with over 70 employers at the 2015 Flathead Valley Job Fair.
Presented by Flathead Valley Community College and the Flathead Job Service, the event will take place April 16 in the Arts & Technology building on the FVCC campus. Veterans and their families will be given exclusive access to the event from 3 to 3:30 p.m. The event will be open for the general public from 3:30 to 7 p.m.
The event will be free and open to the public and is ideal for individuals seeking full-time, part-time or seasonal employment. Job seekers are encouraged to dress professionally, bring copies of their resumes and be prepared to be interviewed at the event.
In addition to the employer booths, job fair participants also will be given the opportunity to learn about apprenticeship programs and visit with job training organizations. New this year, the Consortium for Healthcare Education Online (CHEO) Project at FVCC and PlanYourHealthCareer.org will sponsor the Job Seeker Support Center, where job seekers can meet with a career coach, receive career readiness support, take career interest assessments and complete online applications for current job openings.
J2 Office Products of Kalispell will provide a copy machine for job seekers to make copies of their application materials free of charge.
All job fair parking will take place at the Kidsports Complex across U.S. Highway 93 and the college, off Four Mile Drive. Free shuttle service will be provided by Montana Trolley Company and FVCC. Job fair participants who use the shuttle service will be given a $1 off coupon to Campus Grounds at FVCC, good for the day of the event.
