The OhioMeansJobs (OMJ) Pike County, Workforce & Business Development Program (W&B) of the Community Action Committee of Pike County (CAC) is excited to announce its upcoming annual Career Fair event scheduled to take place at the Pike County Fairgrounds on Wednesday, September 18th, 2024, from 5 to 7pm. This event aims to bridge the gap between job seekers and local businesses to discuss a wide variety of industries and career fields.

Attendees will have the chance to engage with representatives from various sectors including healthcare, manufacturing, retail, hospitality, and more. The event will cater to individuals with varying skill sets and professional backgrounds ensuring a wealth of opportunities for all attendees.

Job seekers attending the Career Fair are strongly encouraged to bring their updated resumes to the event. If you need assistance with updating your resume, please visit the OhioMeansJobs Career Center at 941 Market Street in Piketon prior to the event.

Have you ever wondered what it was like to own your own business? Do the dreams of freedom ever roam around in your head? Does financial freedom and entrepreneurship call to you?
That is exactly what one Senior in High School Destiny Torres felt when she opened up her first business. On Thursday Nov. 16th Destiny and the Chamber of Commerce performed a ribbon cutting ceremony for the grand opening of Waverly Smoothie @ 107 East 2nd Street!
Congratulations Destiny!
