Mecklenburg County is expected to gain more than 200,000 new residents by 2030. With so many new neighbors, steady places of employment are precious to keep pace with Charlotte’s rapid growth + provide a sustainable living wage.
That’s why the county is helping launch career opportunities across various fields including advanced manufacturing, construction, and facility maintenance management.
The Office of Economic Development and Unified Workforce Development is teaming up with Charlotte Works to host a Career Expo and two workshops for prospective employees.
Career Expo Prep Workshops
Registration is required for both workshops at the Valerie C. Woodard Community Resource Center. Spanish-speaking coordinators, free parking, and refreshments will be on hand.
Mark your calendar for:
Tuesday, Feb. 11| 9 a.m.-12 p.m.
Wednesday, Feb. 13 | 5-8 p.m.
Attendees should plan to attend only one workshop where they’ll learn about resume building, interview skills, and county services.
Career Expo
Ready to start a new journey? The Career Expo is happening at Central Piedmont Community College’s Harris Conference Center from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 25.
