Worlds of work - coming October 13 & 14, 2016!

The purpose of the Expo is to create awareness about exciting career options among students and educators while addressing workforce needs in the region. Existing employers in the region continue to have unfilled job openings due to a shortage of skilled workers. In addition, employers face shortages over the next few years due to the retirement of up to 50% of their workforce.

This Expo is a project of West Alabama Works, Region 3 Workforce Development Council and the Chamber of Commerce of West Alabama. The Expo will be a fun, educational, hands-on opportunity for students to become familiar with a broad overview of high demand, high wage career opportunities available in the area.

Attendance to the Expo will be available to students in our nine-county workforce development region which includes Bibb, Fayette, Greene, Hale, Lamar, Marengo, Pickens, Sumter, and Tuscaloosa counties.  “Worlds of Work” will include “worlds” or industry sectors which student will have the opportunity to visit.  For more information on the "worlds" click on the icons below.
