KINGMAN - Job seekers are invited to attend the 2009 Job & Career Fair, sponsored by the Mohave County Workforce Connection partners (DES Employment Services, Mohave Community College, Mohave County One-Stop Career Centers, REPAC and area chambers of commerce), on Saturday, July 25, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 400 Grandview Ave., in Kingman.

“As many as 40 employers are expected to participate in the jobs and career fair, which means a larger number of employers will be available at the combined event than job seekers have had access to in the past,” said Charlotte Keller, a member of the Workforce Connection committee organizing the event.

Among those employers are: Aquarius Resort and Casino, Desert Highlands care facility, Guardian Fiberglass, Arizona Game and Fish, Hualapai Mountain Medical Center, Kingman State Prison, Southwest Behavioral Health Services, Mohave Community College, the Social Security Administration, KGMN Radio, Action Welding and more.

“Because more room is available this year, employer booths can be reserved through July 20, as long as spaces last,” Keller said. “Plus, employers will have a 10-foot booth space this year to do full displays about their companies.”
