Iowa Workforce Development is hosting a job fair in Newton on Thursday (12/9) and Friday (12/10) for the more than 700 employees of T-P-I Composites who will be out of work at the end of this year. Spokesperson Lacie Westendorf says the 130 employers looking to hire are coming to Newton from all over the state.
“All the way out from Dubuque, over up to Clear Lake, Waterloo, Ankeny, so some of the positions can even be done remotely, can be done anywhere around the state. So some of these businesses have locations anywhere, so they have openings everywhere,”
So many employers are looking for workers that IowaWORKS is dividing the job fair into three sections. The first session will be Thursday morning from 7:00 until Noon, Thursday afternoon from 1:00 to 6:00, and Friday morning from 7:00 to noon. The job fair will be held at the DMACC campus in Newton at 600 North 2nd Avenue West. This job fair is also open to the general public.
