COTR Career and Job Fair features CEO and chair from Columbia Basin Trust

Guest speaker Neil Muth, CEO of Columbia Basin Trust (L) and Greg Deck, chair of CBT.

The seventh annual Career and Job Fair is shaping up to be another great event. Representatives from dozens of local and national companies, government agencies and professional associations have confirmed their attendance from 1 to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, March 6 at the College of the Rockies Cranbrook Main Campus.

The Career and Job Fair follows the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce business lunch being held at College of the Rockies from 11:30 a.m. to  1 p.m. The lunch, a closed event for pre-registered Chamber members, features guest speaker Neil Muth, CEO of Columbia Basin Trust. Neil will outline the goals, objectives and future vision of Columbia Basin Trust. He will then be joined by Greg Deck, chair of CBT in a question and answer session moderated by Keith Powell, publisher of Kootenay Business magazine.

The Career and Job Fair, a partnership between Kootenay Business magazine, the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce, the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group and College of the Rockies, is the largest in the East Kootenay’s and gives employers and potential employees a chance to network, investigate career opportunities and perhaps find employment in the expanded Summer Job Alley. Employers will be accepting resumes and actively recruiting for employees during the event.
