Adult Senior
Job Fair Set for September 27
Looking to re-enter the workforce? Interested in part time
employment? The Darke County Economic Development office will be
sponsoring an “Adult Senior Job Fair” on September 27th at Oakley Place
in Greenville. The time of the event will be from 9:00 AM to 12:
00 PM.
“This will be a great opportunity for those retirees that feel they
still have time in their week to put toward a job, to meet companies
that have part time employment opportunities,” explained Darke County
Economic Development Director Mike Bowers. “The thought of a
Senior Job Fair came about a number of months ago during a conversation
with Darke County Commissioner Mike Stegall. Local companies are
in need of good, reliable part time employees and this job fair will
give the opportunity to assist in this manner,” Bowers further added.
A few of the companies looking to participate are Wayne Healthcare,
Brethren Retirement Community, Spirit Medical Transport, Integrity
Ambulance Service, Rural King, Lowes, Oakley Place and Brookdale.
Those interested in attending simply need to show up at Oakley Place
located at 1275 Northview Drive the day of the event. There is no
registration. Coffee and donuts will be provided by the staff of
Oakley Place.
When asked about the job fair, County Commissioner Mike Stegall
commented, “This job fair will help our seniors who are wanting
something to do on a part time or full time basis. This will help
our companies and present workforce by learning from the experiences
and work ethic they will bring with them. Our Seniors are an
important tool that we have overlooked too long to help with the
employment situation here and across the country. They still have
much to offer, and we can all learn from them.”
Again we ask, ‘Looking to re-enter the workforce? Interested in
part time employment?’ Come join us on September 27th.
