Sacramento Job Corps students talk with a potential employer.

Six Sacramento Job Corps Center students landed jobs as a result of the center’s annual Career Fair, held April 24 at the center’s recreation center. The event’s theme was “Make the Connection.” The fair, held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., gave students an opportunity to meet with area employers, build their professional network, and apply for open positions.

Students who landed jobs as a result of the contacts they made at the Career Fair are: Sheena Hopkins and Luke Blair from Security Investigation, hired by Securitas; Michael Hampton, Jonathan Harrell and Andy Fullmer from Carpentry, hired by JS Contracting Services; and Michael Rice from Heavy Equipment Operators, also hired by JS Contracting Services.

Sacramento student Jason Griffin, enrolled in the Landscaping career technical training program, talks with representatives from JS Contracting Services.
