ESTEVAN — Join the workforce or continue with education? Study locally or leave home? Continue with the current job or change careers? The Â鶹´«Ã½AVeast College tried to help answer those questions by hosting a Career and Hiring Fair at the Estevan Comprehensive School on April 24, followed by a similar event in Weyburn on April 25.
Many high school students and young adults turned out for the afternoon event, which featured a variety of vendors, including various post-secondary institutions from all across Saskatchewan, as well as a few from Manitoba and some from Alberta. Local employers were also on location to share information about the job opportunities they offer.
"Our purpose is to create a platform for post-secondary institutions and companies to showcase opportunities to students and community members," said Jaycee Young, co-ordinator of student recruitment and engagement with the college.
The college also partook in the event, promoting programs available locally.
This year the college partnered with ECS for the event to allow for better access for students and community members alike.
"We partnered with ECS this year, and it actually worked out really well. We've got a good student turnout," Young added.
