Central Oregon Community College will host its annual JobFest events next month, bringing nearly 40 local employers and agencies to its Bend and Redmond campuses.
The fairs run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 2 at COCC’s Bend campus and Oct. 7 at the Redmond campus. Both events are free and open to the public. Attendees can connect with employers, explore career fields, and learn about available jobs, internships and volunteer opportunities.
“JobFest is a chance to explore different career fields and learn more about individual organizations,” said Diane Pritchard, COCC’s director of career services, academic advising and placement.
To help job seekers prepare, COCC is offering free resume-building workshops. Sessions are scheduled for 11 a.m. to noon Sept. 30 in Cascades Hall, room 240A, on the Bend campus, and from 3 to 4 p.m. Oct. 6 in the Technology Education Center, room 135, on the Redmond campus.
