Calvert Career Center to Host Job Fair on April 3, 2008

PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. March 10, 2008 - On Thursday, April 3, 2008, the Calvert Career Center will host its annual Job Fair. This event provides Career Center students with the opportunity to meet with representatives from businesses, unions and professional organizations to discuss potential employment. Additionally, the business representatives have the opportunity to inform students what qualifications are required for employment.

Many Calvert Career Center students have mastered entry level skills in their programs, such as graphic arts, the construction trades (CAD, carpentry, electricity, home improvement, masonry, welding, plumbing, heating and air conditioning), cosmetology, food production and management, health and biosciences, information technology, engineering technology and automotive technology. Last year, nearly 1,000 students met with 35 employers during the day-long event.

Interested persons may call Carolyn Hobbs, Job Placement Coordinator at the Calvert Career Center, at 410.535.7465 or e-mail her at hobbsc@calvertnet.k12.md.us for registration information. If you are unable to participate in the Job Fair but would still like to obtain information on how your business could benefit by employing a Calvert Career Center student, contact Ms. Hobbs.
