This fair provides opportunities for job seekers to find job leads, job training and job search information and networking opportunities. Job seekers are encouraged to bring copies of their resume. 

“Job Fair 2017 is a great opportunity for students to put themselves out there and see what jobs are available,” said Martha Toebben, SCC career services manager. “The Job Fair also provides employers the opportunity to access all the best job candidates in the area – both SCC students and non-students alike.” 

Interested employers may register online at www.stchas.edu/jobfair, beginning March 1. Space is limited, so register early. Employer registrations will be accepted until Friday, April 28. The fair is open to business and industry employers from profit and non-profit organizations. 

“As far as job fairs go, SCC’s is one of our favorites to attend,” said Rolf Rathmann, staffing manager at Service Stars. “The pool of people that attend have some great attributes and really seem hungry for work.” 

The annual event is sponsored by three cooperating St. Charles County agencies and institutions. Last year, 330 area job seekers attended the event.

A registration fee of $70 for non-profit organizations or $95 for profit organizations includes one 2.5’x6’ table, two chairs, a continental breakfast, up to two box lunches and all advertising for the event.
