ECC to host Oct. 9 manufacturing and technology job fair

Elgin Community College will host a career fair focused on jobs in manufacturing and technology on Tuesday, Oct. 9.

This year, separate daytime and evening sessions of the event will be held to offer better convenience to job seekers. The fair, which is free and open to the public, will run from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and then again from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. the same evening in Building O, 1700 Spartan Drive, Elgin.

More than 30 employers looking to hire in automotive technology; commercial driving; energy management; heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR); and other manufacturing-related careers including computer-aided design (CAD), engineering and welding will be in attendance. Representatives will be on site to meet job seekers, offer information about their company and the position they are hiring for and to answer questions.

Attendees are encouraged to research the full list of participating employers prior to attending the event. It is strongly recommended that attendees bring plenty of resumes to the job fair, dress appropriately and prepare a list of questions for potential employers.
