Medicine Hat College to host 60-plus employers at Career Expo Wednesday
The free annual event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is open to job seekers, students and the general public.
Medicine Hat College will host its annual Career Expo on Wednesday, bringing together more than 60 employers with job seekers, students and community members. The free event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Centennial Hall and the B-wing.
Employers from healthcare, education, trades, technology, manufacturing, agriculture, policing, government and community services will attend to discuss job openings and career pathways. Some organizations may conduct on-the-spot interviews with prepared candidates.
The expo has grown significantly since its early years, when it featured 15 to 25 exhibitors more than two decades ago, compared with more than 60 this year. Organizer Shelly Drefs, a student career services assistant at MHC, said face-to-face conversations give job seekers an edge over online applications.
Drefs noted the event has helped attendees secure employment, practicum placements, internships and volunteer opportunities, and said some former MHC students now return as employer representatives recruiting future talent. No admission fee is required, and the event is open to the public.
