The Carrollton Public Library has teamed up with Metrocrest Services to host a job fair that promises opportunities across a spectrum of industries. Scheduled for Wednesday, October 15, from 3-5 p.m., the event will take place at the Josey Ranch Lake Library located at 1700 Keller Springs Road. While preregistration is encouraged for the free Metrocrest Job Fair, it won't be a barrier for entry – all job seekers are welcome, just remember to dress professionally and bring your resume, with the library offering free printing services for this purpose.
According to the City of Carrollton's announcement, the job fair is a cornerstone of the library's mission to bolster workforce development and facilitate personal and professional growth; Rachel Young, the Josey Ranch Lake Library Manager, emphasized the importance of this event in helping locals achieve their professional and financial goals, while also affording them the valuable chance to make face-to-face connections with hiring managers and potential employers.
Participants will encounter a range of employers, including those from automotive, hospitality, and local government sectors, notably the City of Carrollton itself, which is presenting multiple job openings, from full-time to seasonal work. The city offers competitive benefits, like insurance, retirement plans with 2:1 matching, and even a free health clinic for employees.
Edwin Robles, Workforce Development Manager at Metrocrest Services, told the publication that events such as the Metrocrest Community Job Fair are crucial for not only connecting residents with quality employers but also for empowering them to secure jobs that provide sustainable wages. Job fairs like this are fundamental elements in the Metrocrest Services’ wider efforts to foster independence and self-reliance within the community.
