Unemployment in Southwest Florida is high, as is the need to fill available job openings in numerous career fields with local manufacturing companies. To address this growing demand, Southwest Regional Manufacturers Association (SRMA) has partnered with CareerSource Southwest Florida to host an Online Job Fair on Wednesday, January 27, 2021 from 10:00 a.m. – 1 p.m. There is no cost to attend.
“We are hoping to help people obtain stable, well-paying jobs in the manufacturing industry where demand for a qualified workforce is high,” says SRMA Board Chair Jeff Poirier.
Manufacturing companies such as Arthrex, Storm Smart, and more will be among the featured employers at the job fair. Open positions range from sales, buyers, clerks, front office, and maintenance to welders and machinists. There are entry level positions to senior career opportunities available. CME and iTech will also be in attendance to discuss on-the-job training programs and continued education courses with employers and employees.
“We are happy to partner with the Southwest Florida Manufacturers Association to facilitate this online job fair for local manufacturers,” says Bill Welch of CareerSource Southwest Florida. “It fulfills our mission to connect employers with qualified, skilled talent and Floridians with employment and career development opportunities to achieve economic prosperity.”
