Elgin Community College's Office of Strategic Partnerships and Experiential Learning will host a virtual Apprentice Fair on Thursday, April 8, from noon to 2 p.m., followed by a career fair on Friday, April 9. Both fairs are free and open to the public.

Employers with open apprenticeship opportunities will be meeting with interested candidates in a wide range of manufacturing and technology fields.

Current and potential ECC students are encouraged to attend to learn more about apprenticeships available through ECC.
