Several local economic development partners will jointly host a regional job fair at Black River Technical College in Pocahontas on May 19 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. NEA Intermodal, the Randolph County Chamber of Commerce and the Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce will jointly host the event, which will give job seekers access to more than 300 available positions in Northeast Arkansas.
Both entry-level and skilled positions will be available for job seekers in fields such as healthcare, electrical, manufacturing, education and law enforcement. Several second chance employers will also be present.
In addition to local employers, the Arkansas Department of Workforce Mobile Center will be available to assist job seekers with resume preparation, qualification testing and other services. Representatives from Black River Technical College will also be available to help job seekers register for courses.
Participation in job fairs for employers and job seekers is FREE. The regional job fair is a valuable resource as it brings together a greater number of available positions and allows applicants to conveniently learn about companies, job openings and available benefits packages.
