Adults seeking employment opportunities in Columbus and surrounding communities are invited to a career fair in the Columbus Learning Center on Wednesday, April 4.

Sponsored by Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus, Ivy Tech Community College, and the Purdue College of Technology, the event will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“We are hopeful that area residents take advantage of this opportunity to connect with potential employers,” said Randy Proffitt, director of communications and marketing at Ivy Tech. “We are pleased that so many great companies will be represented this year and appreciate their support and interest in meeting candidates for positions they may have available now or in the future.”

According to Carol Kostrzewsky, coordinator of career services at IUPUC, as many as 60 prospective employers are expected to be represented. “Unlike previous years, when many employers were simply networking to meet prospective employees and have them on file for future openings, this year all of the employers have immediate openings to fill,” Kostrzewsky reported.
