If getting a job is your goal, then the 6th annual Craven Works Outdoor Job Fair should be your destination.
The Craven 100 Alliance, in partnership with NC Works Career Center, will provide a variety of employers at Union Point Park on March 30, beginning at noon and continuing until 5:30 p.m.
But, it takes some advance preparation.
Pre-registration is required. If you have a resume, you can be pre-matched with registered employers prior to the event.
Those seeking a job will get an email with a pre-matched list of registered employers, based on the resume.
For assistance with a resume or to be pre-matched with an employer, email NCWorks Career Center – Craven at [email protected].
“We are thrilled to be able to offer this wonderful opportunity to our Craven County community,” said Reeshema Walker, the center manager at NC Works Career Center. “2020 was a difficult year for so many, but there are several opportunities available that offer tremendous growth and stability. Craven County continues to grow and we are working hard to place good people in good jobs so we will keep moving forward.”
Opportunities include a career change or a job opportunity in Craven County.
There is a wide and varied list of employers who will be on hand, including automotive, banking, finance, insurance, construction, engineering services, education, mechanical, electrical, employment agencies, loading and unloading, general; construction, labor, health care, human services, manufacturing, production, media, retail, travel, tourism and hospitality.
It is also a chance for employers. Those looking to participate in the Job Fair, or if you are a community resource partner looking, find additional information online at www.cravenbusiness.com.
“We are seeing a strong economic shift in our community that offers competitive jobs in an environment we can all appreciate. Craven County offers so many unique opportunities from the water to the woods and we also have a strong professional and industrial job market,” said Jeff Wood, Craven County Economic Development Director. “In light of the pandemic, people are rethinking big-city life and want to get back to a more relaxed way of living without giving up successful careers. Making a move to Craven County allows people to have both.”
COVID-19 safety precautions will be strictly monitored.
Safety precautions will be at the forefront of planning. A COVID-19 pre-screening is required prior to entering the event and starts at 11 a.m. Expect to have a temporal forehead temperature check and there will be a series of COVID-19 pre-screening questions.
Those attending must follow COVID-19 safety guidelines by following the three Ws – Wear (a mask), Wait (6 feet apart), and Wash (sanitize your hands).
Hand sanitizer and face masks will be made available.
The NCWorks Career Center – New Bern is spearheading the event, in partnership with Craven Works Job Fair Planning Committee. Craven 100 Alliance and the city of New Bern Parks & Recreation Department are sponsors of the event.
