LET THE FOX CITIES CHAMBER WORK FOR YOU!

COVID-19 has certainly pushed the accelerator down on creating VIRTUAL recruiting events and career fairs. Last year, we saw firsthand that regional recruiting is the new success model for economic and workforce development, and we are about to see how virtual recruiting can enhance our ability to reach and import more talent to the Fox Cities. 

Join us for Fox Cities Days 2020 – a VIRTUAL road trip for talent! This September, we will be virtual at Michigan Tech right before their large career fair (also virtual). Last year, team Fox Cities broke the record for the number of students through the CareerFEST tents at Michigan Tech (close to 600), and we want to do it again (virtually in Handshake) with YOU in 2020! 

This year, we've also added Northern Michigan University to the virtual road trip on October 15, 2020, AND added Finlandia University to the Michigan Tech day for our healthcare employers!
