WorkOne and the Starke County Economic Development Foundation will be hosting a Job Fair on Wednesday, Oct. 11 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. CT at the Knox Middle School Auxiliary Gym. This is a new event this year that is designed to showcase what is available for employment in Starke County as workers are needed for several positions. Students and adults are invited to this event.
As a supplement to the Job Fair, the annual Manufacturer’s Day in Starke County is set for Thursday, Oct. 12.
The Starke County Economic Development Foundation will host the event at the Knox Middle School where 350 seventh grade students and 200 students from four schools will learn about the various industries in the county.
Students from the Knox Community School Corporation, North Judson-San Pierre School Corporation, Oregon-Davis School Corporation and Culver Community School Corporation will learn what each company manufactures and what job skills and education are necessary to secure employment at the facilities.
This year’s theme is “Focus on Your Future” and each participant will receive a take-home bag full of items based on the theme as well as a brochure highlighting the SCILL Center and each of 16 manufacturers available at the Manufacturer’s Day.
