Eastern Kentucky Career Center JobSightlocations hosting ‘Hire-A-Bration’ Job Fairs in July
Jobseekers in Eastern Kentucky will have an opportunity to come out of hibernation and into a “Hire-A-Bration” with a series of job fairs in July aimed at connecting individuals looking for work with hiring employers in their areas.
With Kentucky continuing to reopen from COVID-19 restrictions, many employers across Eastern Kentucky continue to look for employees to fill open positions. Anyone in the region currently looking for a new job can meet with some of these employers’ representatives and apply for jobs in person during the job fairs. Attendees should bring an up-to-date résumé and valid identification.
The KCC JobSight’s Hire-A-Bration job fairs will begin Tuesday, July 13 with additional dates over the next three weeks, including:
July 13, 9 am – Noon: Coal Run Community Center, 105 Church Street in Coal Run (Pike Co.)
