On Saturday, April 23rd, we will plant seeds to celebrate Earth Day (technically, Earth Day is Friday, but everyday should be Earth Day, anyway). Kids of all ages can come and plant the seed of their choice and take them home to nurture. Help them appreciate the earth and feel more connected to nature as they watch their seed sprout into a plant, with just a bit of care.
Best Family Farms will be partnering with us and will give a free Jack-O-Lantern pumpkin to every child that keeps their plant alive until September! So, bring the family, have some fun, and celebrate what our Earth has to offer.
This is a FREE event.
The 24th annual JOB FAIR will take place in the Centralia College Health and Wellness Bldg (gym) on Thursday, April 28th from 10am-1pm. This event is free and open to the community. Over 55 local and regional employers will be in attendance to assist individuals seeking part time, full time, or seasonal jobs, as well as those interested in changing jobs or exploring a potential new career. Participating employers include state and county agencies, private and non profit businesses, municipalities, apprenticeships and more. Recruiters will be representing a wide variety of fields, such as business, law enforcement, education, healthcare, retail and more!
Our Job Fair employer representatives are continually reinforcing that it’s extremely important to dress professionally when you attend a Job Fair. Shower and make sure that your grooming is impeccable. Plan in advance what you are going to wear and be sure everything is neat, clean and pressed. Professional, yet conservative attire is best. Remove all visible piercings that are unusual and cover tattoos. Make arrangements for childcare. It’s most effective to greet each employer with a firm handshake, good eye contact and a smile. Be prepared to ask a couple of basic questions about the place of employment. Space will be provided for job seekers to complete applications, if necessary. This is an excellent time to seek current job openings or gather information about a potential career, including skills, types of training and academic requirements.
