ANNUAL CAREER FAIR & BUSINESS EXPO SLATED FOR NOVEMBER 

Leyden High School District 212 and The Franklin Park/Schiller Park Chamber of Commerce are hosting the 2013 Leyden Career Fair and Business Expo on Wednesday, November 6, 2013 from 12:15 p.m. to 4:15 p.m., in the field house at East Leyden High School, 3400 Rose St., Franklin Park.  The fair is free and open to students, parents, community members, and businesses.

This event features local businesses and current business partners offering information on seasonal, part-time, and full-time employment.  Representatives from Triton College also will be available to offer information on continuing education opportunities to those community members interested in pursuing a new career or learning new skills. In addition, Rich Williams, Director of Career Services at Triton College, will be available to review resumes and offer suggestions on how to write a professional resume.  Williams also invites community members to visit the career services department prior to the job fair for tips on job interviews and resumes.

In addition, there will be representatives from Triton’s architecture, engineering, healthcare, and computer technology departments.  They will be available to discuss the programs and requirements.  Triton also will be awarding three $300 vouchers to be used for classes at the college.

Last year, 77 businesses and more than 700 visitors participated, giving job-seekers the chance to meet with company representatives, ask questions and in some cases, fill-out job applications on the spot.  Some of the businesses, companies, and schools that will be represented include A-1 Tool Corp., FirstMerit Bank, Franklin Park Fire Department, Ms. Roberts Beauty Academy, Pioneer Press, Schiller Park Recreation Department, Northwestern Institute of Health and Technology, Sam’s Club, Symbol Job Training, Triton College, and West Suburban Special Recreation Association.

Visitors will also have the chance to talk with faculty and staff from District 212 and Triton College to learn about the latest trends in career planning and technology.

For general information, as well as information on how to include a representative from your business or company at the event, contact Fran Brady, Director of Careers, at 847-451-3031 and fbrady@leyden212.org.
