ALLIANCE, Neb. — Western Nebraska Community College’s Career Pathways & Advising department will host a job and internship fair, Tuesday, Jan. 28, in the Community Room on the Alliance Campus.
The event is the first of three job and internship fairs the CP&A department will host, one on each campus, in the spring semester.
The Alliance job and internship fair will be open to the public 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 Spring 2020 Job & Internship Fair will also provide an opportunity for employers to meet with other businesses and network with a potential future workforce.
"We're very excited to host a job and internship fair in Alliance and have heard from a number of businesses and students already planning to attend," said WNCC Career Pathways Advisor Mai Lee Olsen. "From our conversations with area businesses, there is definitely a need in the area for educated and skilled workers, so our hope is this event helps to fill those voids."
In addition to the fair, WNCC will host “A Work in Progress,” Jan. 24, in the Alliance 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 to attend either the “A Work in Progress” event or the fair and no RSVP is required. For more information, contact Olsen at olsenm12@wncc.edu or 308-635-6341.
