Addison is home to a wealth of successful companies and businesses, as well as a skilled and motivated workforce. The Addison 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:
- 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)
- 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 Job Expo is one way to meet that goal. For more information, contact Alyssa Cornelius at the Village of Addison at 630-693-7512 or acornelius@addison-il.org.
