OCALA (Aug. 29, 2018) – Lockheed Martin, E-One and R+L Global Logistics are among the 22 businesses lined up so far for the Skilled Trades Job Fair set for September 18.

“A skilled tradesperson is a worker who specializes in a particular occupation that requires work experience, on-the-job training and often formal vocational education, but not usually a bachelor’s degree,” said Brenda Chrisman, CareerSource CLM’s business development officer.

Chrisman said that typical skilled trades positions include mechanics, CDL drivers, technicians, masons, manufacturing, warehousing, welders, painters, heavy equipment operators, electricians, maintenance workers, plumbers, fabricators, glass workers, drafters, and carpenters.

In addition to area commercial businesses, CareerSource CLM staff will be on hand with information about fee-free job-placement services and training opportunities.

While advance registration is not required, those interested in fast, easy access to the job fair are encouraged to register at www.employflorida.com. Job candidates should dress appropriately and be prepared for on-the-spot job interviews.

Anyone interested in getting help prior to the job fair is encouraged to visit a CareerSource CLM career center at 2703 NE 14th St., Ocala; 683 S. Adolph Point, Lecanto; or 2175 NW 11th Dr., Chiefland.
