Employers wanted for 2008 Spring Job Fair/Mas Trabajos

Calling all employers!

The Heart of Knoxville Career and Resource Center will host the 2008 Spring Job Fair/Mas Trabajos Thursday, April 17, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Magnolia Avenue Campus of Pellissippi State Technical Community College—and we invite all area employers to participate.

The location, 1610 E. Magnolia Ave., Knoxville, offers plenty of parking for both for employers and job seekers. Employers also will be provided with a free lunch.

The job fair is free for everyone, and the event promises to be one of the biggest yet, with a variety of industries, including business and technology, customer and financial services, health care, food service and skilled trades, represented.

This year, the Spring Job Fair/Mas Trabajos is a three-pronged effort by the Career Center, Pellissippi State and the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of East Tennessee. The event is designed to attract both English- and Spanish-speaking candidates.

The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of East Tennessee’s mission is to advocate, promote and facilitate the success of Hispanic businesses, professionals and workers in the region, as well as to assist local businesses in reaching the Hispanic market.

Since 2002, the Career Center has provided workforce development services to connect employers and job seekers, including job postings and referral services, applicant screening, resume and cover letter assistance and other employment skills workshops.

In addition, Empowerment Zone funding provides scholarships for short-term job skills training and other support services to eligible customers. Major funding for the Career Center is provided by Pellissippi State, the city of Knoxville and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

For registration information, contact Bryan May at (865) 329-3166.
