Job fair coming up

1 comment January 16th, 2008

After Chrysler announced the layoffs of more than 1,000 workers at its Belvidere Assembly plant, several job and training agencies put together a job fair for Jan. 23. The fair is open to everyone, not just Chrysler employees.

So far 59 organizations have signed up, including manufacturers, health care providers, insurance companies, employment agencies and education and training groups.

Organizers are looking for more employers to participate, but the sign-up period ends Friday. It’s free. To register your company for the job fair, send an email to John Strandin or call the Workforce Connection at 815-395-6600.

The job fair will be from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 23, at the Belvidere Community Builidng, 111 W. First St.
