Edison Community College will host its annual Career Expo Tuesday, March 20, from 11–3 p.m. in the North Hall of the Piqua Main campus. 

More than 50 organizations ranging from manufacturing, business, financial services, health care, social services, retail and the armed forces will be in attendance, representing a wide range of job opportunities for west central Ohio area residents. 

This year, the expo is sponsored by Edison, the Upper Valley Career Center, area Job Centers and the Rehabilitation Services Commission. Miami, Shelby and Darke County representatives will be on hand to provide resume help and job search assistance. Additional resources, including online access, are available at their facilities. 

“This event is really one of the premier career expos in the region and we’re very happy to bring it back to the Edison campus this spring,” said Pam Gibellino, coordinator of career services at Edison. “This is a great way to bring employers, job seekers and employment resources together in one place.” 

More than 500 job seekers are expected to attend the free event. Representatives from organizations such as Crown Control, Emerson Climate Technologies, Evenflo Co., Inc., Hartzell Industries, Plastipak Packaging, Inc., Upper Valley Medical Center, Midmark Corp., Norcold, and Jackson Tube Services. There will also be staffing services participating, representing some of the major employers in the area. 

Also in attendance this year will be representatives from some of the area’s four-year colleges and universities, who will be assisting students with information on credit transfers and various degree programs. 

Edison’s Career Services department provides resources to students, alumni and the community in the areas of career searching and advising. Individuals can come to the department for guidance when they are considering a career change or have experienced a job loss. Skilled career advisors guide them through a career assessment process and links to significant data on career fields and the job market. Many resources are available on their website at www.edisonohio.edu/career. 

“Edison is pleased to have the opportunity to again work with the Upper Valley Career Center, area Job Centers, and Rehabilitation Services to bring this event to the community,” Gibellino added. “With more than 50 organizations participating this year, we’re expecting a big turnout from people in the community who are on the hunt for a new job or are just looking for information about who’s hiring and what kinds of positions are available.”
