Addison Trail to host Addison Industrial Job Expo

On Sept. 17, the Village of Addison and Addison Trail will host the second Addison Industrial Job Expo – and all residents are invited to attend.

The expo will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Addison Trail. During the event, participants will have the opportunity to meet face to face with local employers and submit their résumé. There also will be an Interview Readiness Seminar from 8 to 9 a.m. To see a flyer with details about the event, go to https://www.dupage88.net/site/public/files/?item=3016.

The Village of Addison is home to a wealth of successful companies and businesses, as well as a skilled and motivated workforce. The Addison Industrial Job Expo will bring employers and employees together to continue to improve the community and further develop the Addison Advantage.

The expo is an initiative of the Addison Workforce Development Committee, which is comprised of the Village of Addison and local businesses and organizations. The focus of that group is two-fold:

1. Collaborate to provide opportunities to train students and adults for jobs available in the area (as well as offer programs such as internships and job shadowing)
2. Develop a directory of local businesses (including contact information, open positions and skills employees need to have)

The committee’s goal is to discover the needs of employers and train local students and adults to meet those needs. The Industrial Job Expo is one way to meet that goal. For more information, contact Mary Heneghan at the Village of Addison at 630-693-7510 or mheneghan@addison-il.org.
