This spring’s CAREER EXPO being put on by Vermilion Advantage is being held at Danville Area Community College’s Mary Miller Gymnasium; on Thursday, April 24th. Vermilion Advantage’s Jodie Ingram says sign-ups are underway for businesses who would like a table at the expo; $50 for Vermilion Advantage members, and $100 for non-members.
This year’s CAREER EXPO will run from 9 AM to 3 PM, with the 9 to 11 hours for Vermilion County students. Ingram says this means bus loads of high school and other students from around the county, along with DACC, or any other college students living in Vermilion County.
Audio PlayerAUDIO: And so, we’ve invited the high schools to come out. And that way vendors can do more of a specialized, tailored event for them. And then we’ll pivot into the public from 11 to 3.
As for the 11 AM to 3 PM hours for everyone else, Ingram says this CAREER EXPO can be helpful to a recent college grad looking to get started, or folks of any age looking for a new job or brand new career. Ingram points out, that’s what a current member of the Vermilion Advantage team did.
Audio PlayerAUDIO: Whether you’re a fresh graduate, or whether you’re ready for a career change. Dana, who’s one of our employees; she was a stay at home mom, and was ready to get back into the workforce; and we found her at our career expo.
Businesses can register up to April 3rd. Register by using the QR code on the CAREER EXPO flyer on the Vermilion Advantage website, or call the Vermilion Advantage office at 217-442-6201 for more information.
