Duncan, Oklahoma, March 23, 2010
The Duncan Area Economic Development Foundation will host a Job and Career Expo on Tuesday March 23 at the Simmons Center in Duncan, Oklahoma. The Job Expo will take place from 7 a.m. – 1 p.m. and the High School Career Fair from 12:30-4 p.m.
As a result of the economy, many skilled, well qualified individuals are seeking employment, and an event such as this is very necessary. While locally we are not struggling as much as other parts of the country, we must also look toward the future for a workforce that will have the skills necessary to keep our companies and community on track.
For those seeking a job, a wide variety of employers will be present and job descriptions and salaries will be available at each of the booths. In addition, seminars will take place throughout the day to assist individuals with their resume, interviewing skills, give them information on becoming an entrepreneur or going back to college. For students attending, they will get to see what career options are available and the pay and education required for each job. Booth space is free to employers and a limited number of spaces are still available.
In addition, students in grade 9-12 within the Stephens, Jefferson and Cotton county school districts can compete in engineering &/or entrepreneurship to win $1000, $500 or $300. The 3rd Annual Duncan Area Economic Development Entrepreneur contest encourages those who have a great idea for a product or service to submit a business plan, while the 2nd Annual Duncan Economic Development Engineering Competition encourages youth to design a CO2 dragster and race it on the 80 foot track the day of the job fair. Both contests are sponsored by MIC-Group, Duncan Division Richard’s Manufacturing.
For additional information on the Expo call Jessika at the Duncan Area Economic Development office at 580-255-9675
