Businesses looking for a large pool of employee candidates are in luck. On Thursday, February 18, Columbia Basin College will hold its annual Career Expo from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Byron Gjerde Center on the Pasco campus.
CBC Student Employment is seeking employers to attend this year’s Career Expo. Employers can utilize the expo to network with other local businesses, gather resumes to consider for current and future job openings, and schedule interviews with potential candidates.
Career Expo allows job seekers to network with as many as 80 businesses and agencies all in one place, at one time. This free informational job and internship fair gives students and community members the opportunity to explore careers, obtain employer information, establish contacts, and submit resumes. Last year, nearly 1,000 job seekers attended the Expo.
