Employers and job seekers convened at GateWay Community College Sept. 21 for its annual GateWay Job Fair. The event, organized by Career Services, took place from 9 a.m. to noon and included more than a dozen companies looking for qualified applicants for existing positions.
The job fair was the first event hosted by the Career Center in the new Integrated Education building, which has added to the excitement.
“It is a thrilling time for the Career Center,” said Jessica Brosilo, Career Services coordinator. “Our center has grown considerably and it’s the best way to show the community what we are about.”
The event was open to GateWay students as well as the community. The scope of potential jobs included several positions that are aligned with GateWay’s career paths including jobs in healthcare, business and manufacturing. In preparation to the event, one-on-one appointments for resume and mock interviews were available. Those interested in making future appointments for review can contact careercenter@gatewaycc.edu.
