Lake Michigan College will host two career fairs this month, one focused on manufacturing and the other on general careers. LMC Career Services Director Barbara Craig tells us a total of about 70 employers will be on hand and ready to speak with students for the events on April 18 and April 19.
“Especially at this time of year, they’re looking both towards life after college and they’re also looking towards finding out about summer opportunities,” Craig said. “So, it’s a good thing for us to do at this time of year, to host some events to help get our students out in front of employers with our partners, the Southwest Michigan Regional Chamber and Michigan Works. It’s the most pressing issue at the moment, making sure we’ve got our talent pipeline filled.”
Craig says the manufacturing-centered career fair will be April 18 from 4:30 to 6:30 at the Hanson Technology Center. The general career fair will be April 19 from 1 to 5 p.m. at the Grand Upton Hall in the Mendel Center. The events are open to the public, so anyone can come out and learn about local career opportunities. There will be companies hiring and space for attendees to talk one on one with representatives.
