PSA for Hurricane evacuee job fair in Fitchburg June 5th

The Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development (EOLWD) and Department of Career Services (DCS) through the network of One Stop Career Centers working closely with local agencies, primarily the Family Resource Centers, are charged with reaching out to and helping evacuees secure employment as quickly as possible before their disaster assistance funding runs out.

The North Central Career Center’s newest effort is a Job Fair in partnership with Centro, Inc. on June 5th 2018 -10am to noon- for those hurricane impacted individuals whom are looking to work and live in our region.  The job Fair will be at Centro, Inc. located at 437 Main Street, Fitchburg from 10-12pm.  We currently have 13 employers that will be recruiting for multiple industries including healthcare, manufacturing and communications.  Job opportunities include full time, part time, permanent and temporary positions.  Visit www.ccncm.com as regular updates for the job fair will be posted including employers that will be participating.  MART will also be on hand to assist with transportation questions and issues.
