Youngstown (March 23, 2022) - MVMC, in partnership with the Columbiana County Port Authority and Sustainable Opportunity Development (SOD) Center, is hosting a Columbiana Hiring Event Wednesday, April 13 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Held at the SOD Center at 440 Pennsylvania Ave. in Salem, job seekers ranging from recent high school graduates to career switchers are welcome to attend, learn about, and apply for open positions with several Columbiana County employers in manufacturing, healthcare and technology industries. Attendees are encouraged to bring their driver's license and copies of their resume or work history.
"Participating employers are all local to Columbiana County, they have good-paying jobs with benefits to offer, and they are ready to hire," said Julie Michael Smith, MVMC project manager.
Career coaches and regional training providers will be on hand to help with career planning and preparation, and to help identify free or low-cost training programs to build job-readiness skills. The hiring event will highlight "learn and earn” career-building programs like WorkAdvance and apprenticeships.
