The Columbia & Capital City (Jefferson City) Job Centers are now offering Walk-In Wednesdays, starting in July, offering both employers and job seekers the opportunity to connect and do one-on-one interviews. As many employers are having difficulty finding new team members post COVID-19, Job Centers wants to provide as much assistance as possible.
Walk-In Wednesdays will feature approximately 3-8 employers and 1 resource provider, depending on the location, offering free space to connect on a smaller scale. Employers receive a variety of free opportunities available to them, including a provided table, freedom to bring any company swag, computers provided for applicants to apply online, and private office space for one-on-one interviews.
Columbia employers can register with Nichelle Pool today at 573.441.6361. Capital City employers can register with Patricia Barnes at 573.526.8115.
“My goal is to introduce job seekers to employers so they can develop a relationship which may lead to a job,” said Columbia Job Center supervisor Nichelle Pool. “It’s a good place for networking, too.”
As many employers are having difficulties finding employees to fill their vacancies, we want to provide as much assistance as we can.
