The free public event is set to run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. next Wednesday (April 11) in the outside quad at the campus located at 3000 Campus Hill Drive in Livermore.
Companies and agencies scheduled to participate in the job fair include Gillig, Draexlmaier, Comcast, city of Livermore, UNCLE Credit Union, Alameda County Fair, The Wine Group, Livermore Area Recreation and Park District and Wente Vineyards, among others. Job seekers are encouraged to bring their resumes and dress for success.
And to help residents prepare for the job fair, the Tri-Valley One-Stop Career Center — which is affiliated with Las Positas College — will hold preparation workshops on Monday at its Dublin location, 6300 Village Pkwy., Suite 100.
Wednesday’s job fair is sponsored by Tri-Valley One-Stop and the college’s Work-Based Learning Program and Student Services Career Center.
In addition to job and internship fairs, Las Positas College offers various programs and services to support a strong regional workforce, including a job board, classes and workshops, college officials said. Students can also earn college credit for supervised employment, plus the college offers The Smart Shop Series, workshops led by experienced faculty on a variety of topics that cover academics, transfer and career.
Employers can register and post job positions for free on the college’s online job board, which is linked on the homepage. More than 280 employers and nearly 800 students and alumni are already registered, college officials said.
