For those on the hunt for new job opportunities in Carrollton, the local public library, together with Metrocrest Service, is set to serve as an employment nexus on Wednesday, October 15. According to the City of Carrollton, a job fair will take place from 3-5 p.m. at the Josey Ranch Lake Library. Job seekers are encouraged to preregister for the event, though walk-ins will not be turned away.
With professional threads advised for good measure, attendees are invited to meet directly with prospective employers at this no-cost event, armed with their resumes—free printing available at the library for those in need. Rachel Young, the Josey Ranch Lake Library Manager, notes the library's commitment "to providing workforce development resources for citizens to help them set and achieve personal, professional, and financial goals," an ethos that appears to be shared by the event's co-host, Metrocrest Services.
Eligible candidates will find a cornucopia of potential employers ranging across diverse fields, such as automotive, hospitality, and even the City of Carrollton itself, which promises competitive compensation and benefits, including a unique 2:1 matching retirement plan. The positions on offer vary from full-time to part-time, including seasonal availability for those seeking a more flexible work-life blend.
Edwin Robles, the Workforce Development Manager at Metrocrest Services, underscored the importance of the event in facilitating connections between residents and employers to empower them to find jobs that provide a sustainable wage, which highlights the job fair's intrinsic value as a conduit for skills, opportunities, and ultimately, community resilience. Both the City of Carrollton and Metrocrest Services believe that such initiatives fortify the community from within, signaling a dedicated effort to maintain Carrollton as a premier destination for families and businesses alike.
