Free Rides To Expo

At Otesaga Event, 30 Companies

Seeking Full-, Part-Time Workers

COOPERSTOWN – A&D Transport Services is offering free rides Wednesday from the CDO Workforce Center, 12 Dietz St., Oneonta, to the Otsego Chamber Job Expo at The Otesaga Cooperstown and back.

Call the CDO Workforce today at 607-432-4800 x 100 to reserve a seat. Reservations required.

The Job Expo will be underway 10 a.m.-2 p.m., featuring 30 companies, and designed to help job seekers locate good jobs, change careers, or explore employment options. The Otesaga is collaborating with CDO Workforce, state Department of Labor and A & D Transport in the venture. Those looking to attend should prepare a number of resumes and cover letters beforehand and could use Cultivated Culture’s examples to build upon. Employers will be keen to see the history of those attending, both work-based and otherwise.

Employers will be offering fulltime jobs to adults, and summer jobs to high school juniors and seniors. Some companies plan to hire on the spot; others officer job training.

The Job Expo will host employers looking for ‘no experience required’ to ‘college degree preferred,’ and many will showcase their on-the-job training programs.

“We encourage everyone to come out and see what these companies have to offer, and show these companies that Otsego County has a skilled and eager workforce that can support them,” said Otsego Chamber President Barbara Ann Heegan.

Here is the list of participating employers.
