Holiday Job Fair

MHCC will host its first annual Holiday Job Fair on Tuesday, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the College Center.

“We’re really excited,” said Bhaktirose Dawdy, Career and Academic Group advising coordinator.

The fair will feature employers such as Target, College Pro, FedEx Ground, UPS, Kohls, Best Buy, The Hertz Corporation and seven more offering seasonal and permanent work. Students will have the chance to meet potential employers.

“Our goal is to try to offer more of these opportunities for students. A lot of people (who attend) go and get permanent jobs,” said Dawdy. “We’ve been contacted by a lot by employers who are really excited to hire.”

Future job fairs are scheduled for January and April, said Dawdy. The fairs are “aligned with when (the businesses) hire,” he said.
