Southwestern Hosts Annual Employer Forum, May 28

Southwestern Oregon Community College is hosting an employment networking and hiring forum sponsored by the CASE Grant. The CASE Grant is a Department of Labor grant geared toward helping students become job-ready when they graduate.  Southwestern invites students to spend an afternoon meeting with local employers from a variety of industries.  The Employer Forum is scheduled for Wednesday, May 28, 2014, from 3:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Southwestern Oregon Community College’s Empire Hall.  The professionals participating in the forum will share their many years of experience and expertise. Students who attend will become versed in effective and proven methods for acquiring and maintaining employment.  Employers and students will participate in discussion panels where employers will present key hiring practices and employment tips. Students will also participate in mock interviews with employers.  The “What to Wear/What Not to Wear” Fashion Show is a highlight of the day teaching students how to “dress for success”. The show is packed with dos and don’ts, and helps answer student’s questions about appropriate interview attire.  For further information about this event or the CASE Grant contact:  Alane Jennings, CASE Grant Administrator, at 541.888.1612, alane.jennings@socc.edu.
