“We are excited to kick off the new year with a new hiring event,” said Central Workforce Development Region Communications Coordinator Sundi Jo Graham. “It’s the perfect time to start a new career pathway for many. We’re grateful for our partnership with the library and look forward to hosting more events with them.”
For job seekers looking to find a new job or change career pathways, this is the perfect opportunity to connect without having to set up a job interview. Resumes are recommended upon arrival but not required.
