West AlabamaWorks Hosting Summer Job Fair and Hiring Event
FREE for all students, job seekers, and employers!
“Events like this are vital in connecting education to employment,” stated Donny Jones, Executive Director of West AlabamaWorks. “By facilitating early access to job opportunities and direct engagement with employers, we’re empowering both students and community members to take significant steps towards their future careers.”
West AlabamaWorks is set to host an exciting workforce event in Sumter County on Wednesday, April 30, at the Livingston Civic Center (101 Country Club Rd, Livingston, AL 35470). This initiative will provide career opportunities from 9 a.m. to noon for students, followed by an open community hiring fair from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The morning session will showcase two key components: WOW 2.0: Classroom to Career and the IGNITE Summer Job Fair, both intended to link students with local employers and tangible job opportunities.
WOW 2.0 is specifically designed for high school seniors preparing to enter the workforce. Participants will have the chance to engage in on-site interviews with employers who may extend conditional job offers for full- and part-time roles right away.
IGNITE targets students in grades 10 through 12 who are considering part-time, summer, or apprenticeship positions. These students can also participate in interviews and potentially receive conditional job offers from local businesses.
In the afternoon, the Civic Center will open its doors for a community-wide hiring event, where job seekers will have the opportunity to connect with various employers from the surrounding area.
