Muskegon Heights Hosting a Job Fair and More March 1st

Since Jake Eckholm started as the City Manager of Muskegon Heights in October of 2016 there have been a number of innovative and community-oriented initiatives. One idea coming to fruition is a community job and resource fair.  On Wednesday, March 1st from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. community members, businesses, educational institutions, and workforce development groups will participate in the event.

The community job and resource fair will be held at Muskegon Heights City Hall, 2724 Peck Street. Resume writing is a featured part of the event and Michigan Works donated 100 flash drives so that participants can take home an electronic copy of their newly created documents.

This event is open to anyone, it's also a way to show that Muskegon Heights employers are looking for people. As Mayor Kim Simms has said, the "New Normal" is to show things as they are in Muskegon Heights and that includes great opportunities for those seeking work.

Jake sat down with me to discuss the upcoming event. Of particular importance are the intended audience, how this event is bringing the community together, and the goals for all involved.

It's a city on the move. There will be much more great news coming out of Muskegon Heights and we'll be here to help share it. Make sure you head down to the job fair on March 1st and take advantage of all they are offering.
