ALLIANCE, Neb. - Western Nebraska Community College's Career Pathways & Advising department will host a job and internship fair, Tuesday, March 1, at the Alliance Campus Community Room.
The event is the second of three job and internship fairs the CP&A department will host, one in each campus community, in the spring semester.
The Alliance fair will be open to all students and community members from 3-6 p.m., and will include a variety of businesses from the Panhandle that are looking to fill open job and internship listings.
Those in the community searching for employment or interested in a new career path are encouraged to attend. The Job & Internship Fair will also provide an opportunity for employers to meet with other businesses and network with a potential future workforce.
"This is a great opportunity for students and community members to learn about local businesses, practice networking skills and potentially find new or more meaningful work," Gail Bower, career pathways advisor, said.
In addition to the fair, WNCC will host a "Work in Progress" event on Friday, Feb. 25, in the Alliance Campus Community Room from 2-4 p.m. The workshop will cover interview techniques, cover letter and resume critiques, and other helpful resources to help navigate the job market and better prepare prospective employees for the fair.
There is no charge for job seekers to attend either the "Work in Progress" event or the fair and no RSVP is required.
Businesses looking to reserve a booth at the Alliance Job & Internship Fair, or the Sidney and Scottsbluff fairs will be charged a small fee.
