CC Career and Technical Center to host
Apprentice Recruitment event April 26
LISBON - The Columbiana County Career and Technical Center (CCCTC) is hosting an Apprentice Recruitment Fair on April 26. The Mahoning Valley Manufacturers Coalition (MVMC) and Greater Oh-Penn Manufacturing Apprenticeship Network are planning the event to assist manufacturers who are looking for reliable employees. All companies at the recruitment event will be seeking candidates for full-time employment and entry into apprenticeship training programs. These companies will be on site to meet, interview and hire interested individuals for a paid apprenticeship that can lead to full-time employment.
"Companies are looking for candidates with employment history and a willingness to learn. While manufacturing experience is preferred, it is not required. This is a significant shift where manufacturers are willing to invest in candidates who have demonstrated dependability in unrelated jobs that may not offer the advancement opportunities and related pay and benefits," said MVMC Executive Director Jessica Borza.
Current high school seniors who are interested in a career in manufacturing will be able to meet and interview from 4 to 5 p.m. during the event. Adults are invited to meet and interview from 5 to 7 p.m. This event is free to the public. Resumes are suggested, but not required. For more information contact Sue Watson at swatson@tpma-inc.com or 330-307-3399.
