Job fair brings prospective employers to campus

The Career Planning and Counseling Center (CPCC) will host its annual Summer Jobs Career Fair in the Student Union at MHCC Jan. 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The fair is an opportunity for students and members of the community searching for summer jobs and ongoing positions to connect with a variety of employers that are looking to hire. Prospective employers include KOIN 6 Television, City of Gresham Parks, MHCC’s Aquatic Center, Metro regional government and Princess Tours.

In addition to the annual fair, the CPCC is collaborating with MHCC’s Project YESS program to present a Natural Resources Career Exploration Fair in the Jazz Café, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Some of the fair’s natural resource employers include the Bureau of Land Management, Metro, the U.S. Forest Service and MHCC’s Natural Resources program.

Aside from hosting two annual career/job fairs, the CPCC specializes in assisting students who need help choosing a college major or career path, writing a resume, preparing for interviews and more.
