Casper College site of career exploration and advancement event Feb. 26
Wednesday, Feb. 26, the University of Wyoming at Casper, in collaboration with Casper College and the Casper Chamber of Commerce, is presenting its Second Annual Career Exploration and Advancement Event, “Leap Into Your Future.”
Leap Into Your Future is “… designed to not only connect job seekers with potential employers but also to help give potential job seekers tools and tips on how to get hired and progress in their careers,” said Rochelle Green, Ph.D., director of the Bachelor of Applied Science Program at the University of Wyoming at Casper.
“Instead of focusing on ‘these are the jobs available right now,’ we wanted the focus to be more exploratory, including what opportunities could be available and how to advance,” said Green.
According to Ashlee Taylor, career services coordinator, businesses involved in the Leap Into Your Future Career Exploration and Advancement event are excited by the opportunity to explain the inner workings of their company to potential employees. Businesses will also explain to attendees what they look for in résumés and cover letters. Casper College Career Services will have a table at the event to work with attendees on composing resumes and cover letters. Resume and cover letter help is also available before the event by calling 307-268-2089 or scheduling online directly from the Casper College Career Services webpage here.
The event is free and open to anybody in the community who wants to connect with businesses from around the state, representing Wyoming’s workforce. Those business that will be in attendance include:
