A sign of improvement in Flint’s local economy is also a reason for residents to dust off their resumes for an Aug. 23 event at Baker College.

More work means more opportunities in the city, and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. anyone seeking entry-level positions can attend the Flint & Genesee Job & Resource Fair. Open to anyone 18 and older, the fair will also bring together community agencies that offer career preparation, financial and health services.
“This event has truly become a one-stop shop for job-seekers,” says James Avery, Flint & Genesee Chamber of Commerce’s director of education and training. “Attendees can meet with employers face-to-face and they can connect with a variety of organizations that offer important services in Genesee County.”
Park Place Hair Studio will offer grooming services and 2nd Time Around Consignment will donate clothing and accessories for job candidates.
Confirmed employers who will attend the fair include:
