NORWICH – The sixth annual Career Expo invites job seekers to explore career options at SUNY Morrisville’s Norwich campus on Tuesday, November 9, 2021.

Sponsored by the New York State Veterans’ Home at Oxford, and co-hosted by Commerce Chenango and SUNY Morrisville Norwich Campus, the fair will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 20 Conkey Ave. in Norwich.

 

“In our current climate it can difficult to find the right employees and process of finding a job is more complicated than it was once was,” noted Commerce Chenango President & CEO, Kerri Green. “That’s why the return of the Career Expo is so important. What better way to connect companies who need to hire with individuals who are looking for their next step or a new career? It’s also an opportunity for those who make hiring decisions to meet potential candidates face to face, which is rare these days. Commerce Chenango is committed to doing all we can to focus on workforce development initiatives for Chenango County and this is a great way to do that.”

 

Participating businesses will be interviewing candidates at the Career Expo, and job seekers are encouraged to bring copies of their résumé. The list of organizations slated to come includes; Amphenol Aerospace, Baillie Lumber, CDO Workforce, Chenango County Personnel, Golden Artist Colors, Lourdes Hospital, Norwich City School District, Norwich - Wealth Management Company, NYS Veterans' Home at Oxford, Otsego-Delaware Board of Realtors, The Pennysaver/Evening Sun, Raymond Corporation, Springbrook NY, Inc., Staffworks, United States Army, UHS Chenango and Valley View Manor Nursing Home. 

 

Lindsey Lefevre, director of Morrisville’s Norwich campus, said, “The SUNY Morrisville Norwich Campus is once again honored to partner with Commerce Chenango to offer this important event to employers and job seekers.  Our goal is to offer an in-person event that connects businesses with potential employees who are seeking to learn about the many career opportunities that exist right here in our community.  It is vital that the college continues to support this annual event to attract and retain a strong workforce in our region and we look forward in doing so again on Tuesday November 9.”

 

This event brings job seekers from the community to explore career opportunities in and around Chenango County. Attendees will be able to talk one-on-one with representatives of corporate, small business, government, and non-profit organizations. CDO Workforce is offering assistance with resume building.
