Edison To Host
Annual Career Expo
Edison Community College will host its annual Career Expo Tuesday,
March 17, from 11 a.m.–3 p.m. in the North Hall of the Piqua campus.
More than 50 organizations ranging from business, construction,
financial services, health care, manufacturing, retail, social
services, and the armed forces are expected to be in attendance,
representing a wide range of job opportunities for west central Ohio
area residents.
“We are looking forward to another successful and well-attended Career
Expo,” said Morgan Abney, Coordinator of Career Services. “We’re
pleased to see that we have many companies represented that have not
participated in the past. There will be over twenty new participants in
attendance this year.”
More than 400 job seekers are expected to attend the free event.
Representatives from organizations including American Honda Motor
Company, Inc., Cargill, Inc., Crown Equipment, Emerson Climate
Technologies, Inc., Fair Haven Shelby County Home, Ferguson
Construction Company, Hartzell Industries, Home Experts Reality, Ohio
State Highway Patrol, Premier Health, RK Hydro-Vac, Inc. and many
others will be present. There will also be staffing services present,
representing some of the major employers in the area.
“A job fair is an excellent way to personally meet employers and
recruiters, network, submit your resume, and make a great first
impression,” added Abney. “Having that face-to-face contact gives
candidates a real advantage when compared with submitting a resume
electronically.”
Edison’s Career Services department provides resources to students,
alumni and the community in the areas of career searching and advising.
Individuals are invited to the department for guidance as they consider
a career change or experience a job loss. Skilled career advisors are
available to guide them through a career assessment process and
introduce them to resources with significant data on career fields and
the job market. Resources can also be accessed online at
www.edisonohio.edu/career.
The Career Expo is sponsored by Edison Community College, the Upper
Valley Career Center, Ohio Means Jobs, and Opportunities for Ohioans
with Disabilities. Miami and Shelby County representatives will also be
present to provide resume help and job search assistance.
