Cedar Valley Job Fair for Former Hostess Employees Planned

By Greater Cedar Valley Alliance and Chamber

On Friday, Nov. 30 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Greater Cedar Valley Alliance and Chamber (GCVAC) will host a job fair for former Hostess employees looking for new positions.

This fair, a part of the GCVAC’s “Cedar Valley Talent Connect” program, will feature approximately twenty local employers and will be held at Schoitz Room of the Waterloo Center for the Arts, 225 Commercial St., Waterloo.

Displaced workers with an interest in careers in industrial positions including production workers and material handlers, truck drivers, warehouse personnel, and maintenance will be the focus of this event. The GCVAC is partnering with Cedar Valley IowaWORKS to make direct connections with as many former Hostess employees as possible. 

“Brittany Jungck and our entire Economic Development team, along with our partners at IowaWORKS and the Rapid Response team are committed to making unemployment a short-lived condition for former Hostess employees,” said GCVAC CEO Steve Dust.

Employers interested in participating in the fair can contact Brittany Jungck, Director of Business Services at the GCVAC office:  (319) 232-1156.  A direct link with information about this event can also be found here:  http://cedarvalleyalliance.com/event-details.php?id=73
