Career Fair 2004 Scheduled

The annual Shelton State Community College Career Fair has been scheduled for Wednesday, April 15 from 8:00 A.M. to Noon in the atrium of the Martin Campus.

Sponsored by Shelton State’s Job Placement Center, the Career Fair provides an opportunity for one on one access more than a dozen West Alabama employers as well as the Alabama State Employment Service. Although companies are still signing up to participate, the current list includes AmSouth Bank, Tuscaloosa City Board of Education, DCH Regional Medical Center, General Cybernetics Corporation, Hall-Ray Realty, Home Builders of Alabama, McAbee Construction, Premier Service Corporation, Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Office, Southland International Trucking, Tuscaloosa Career Link, as well as representatives from the U. S. Army and Navy Recruiting Offices.

Mike Fields, who heads the Job Placement Center for Shelton State said, “Our students are always in demand from area employers. The Career Fair gives students an opportunity to meet one on one with some of the best companies in West Alabama."

The Career Fair serves a dual purpose at Shelton State. Not only does the Fair provide students with access to potential employers, it also provides area businesses an opportunity to showcase their products and services.

Susan Miller of the Center for Workforce Development said, "We are pleased with the response from the business community and expect to have additional company representatives signed on soon."
