At Carson Community Center
Carson Mayor Lula Davis Holmes, in partnership with the South Bay Workforce Investment Board (SBWIB) and The Carson Citizens Cultural Arts Foundation, will present a Construction Apprenticeship and Career Job Fair Saturday, July 15, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Carson Community Center, 801 Carson St., in Carson.
Job seekers will gain access to paid apprenticeships and employment opportunities in the construction industry. Attendees should be ready with resumes in hand for on-the-spot-live interviews.
Call the Carson One-Stop at (310) 680-3870 to register for this event. Job developers with the One-Stop Center will assist employers in preparing for interviews with potential employees.
This event anticipates the development of a 157-acre property that once was a landfill, creating thousands of jobs in the construction, retail, and management industry.
“As Carson seeks to create job opportunities for the future,” Davis-Holmes said, “now is the time to prepare residents to assume these jobs, for if you don’t build your future, someone else will hire you to build theirs.”
“This event will not only expose job seekers to the various careers in construction but will also enable industry vendors to collaborate with fellow trade partners throughout the region,” noted SBWIB Executive Director Jan Vogel.
The SBWIB provides no-cost services to job seekers and businesses through its four One-Stop Business and Career Centers that serve 11 South Bay cities. For further information go to www.sbwib.org.
