AREA RESIDENTS ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND EMPLOYMENT AND INTERNSHIP FAIR

Area residents who are interested in job openings in the region are encouraged to participate in an upcoming job fair at Iowa Lakes Community College.  Three ‘Employment and Internship Fairs’ will be held at Iowa Lakes in early March. 

This is an opportunity for area employers to meet with students and other job seekers from the community to explore employment opportunities.  Part-time and full-time employment as well as internship possibilities will be of interest to all attending.

A Nursing and Health Care Occupations Job Fair will be held at the Emmetsburg campus on Mon., March 3 from 9 to noon.  There will be 15 health care employers represented.  They will be hiring for nursing positions and related health care positions.

The Employment and Internship Fair for all other careers will be held on the Emmetsburg campus on Tues., March 4 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.; and on the Estherville campus on Wed., March 5 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.  Some 30 area employers are expected at both campuses.

In addition, on Wednesday, March 5, there will be a Wind Energy Job Fair held at the Wind Energy Building (9 a.m.-1 p.m.), with 12 wind energy employers from across the country attending.  At 10 a.m. there will be an Employer Panel, with the Wind Energy employers presenting information on their companies to all interested students and the public in the west classroom of the Wind Energy Building.
