United Way to host employment and family resources fair
By Daniel Voros, Crain's Detroit
The United Way for Southeastern Michigan is working with 140 businesses and nonprofit groups on an employment and family resources fair Oct. 11 at the Michigan State Fairgrounds.
The second-annual event, Working Together: Southeast Michigan Employment, Training and Family Resource Expo, runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is designed to help participants in job placement and training, and connect them with human-resource organizations that can ease barriers to maintaining jobs, such as finding child care and transportation.
A virtual fair will also be accessible through 75 on-site computers. Volunteers will be available to help attendees search for jobs and create résumés, which can be submitted online.
Employment opportunities include engineering positions at DTE Energy Co. U.S. Trucking Inc. has driving positions and will have a booth to enroll people in its driving program if they don’t have a trucking license.
The fair is free for both job seekers and employers. Those looking for jobs may register online at www.uwsem.org/expo, or call 211 to reach United Way’s information line. The physical fair has met its capacity for employers, but the online expo has space available and runs from Oct. 9–13. Companies that want to register can do so at the same Web site.
