If you’ve been thinking about leveling up your career or just figuring out your next move, there’s something happening in Tuscaloosa this week you might want to tap into.

Shelton State Community College is hosting a career fair on Wednesday, April 8 at 10 a.m. inside the Martin Campus Atrium, and it’s more than just a walk-around-and-grab-a-flyer type of event. This one is part of the school’s Thurgood Marshall College Fund initiatives, which means the focus is really on creating real opportunities and connections that can lead somewhere.

 

Students and job seekers will have the chance to meet employers from a wide range of industries, learn about open positions, and start building relationships that could turn into internships or full-time careers. But what really stands out is the partnership behind it.

The event is being presented in collaboration with the Tuscaloosa Area Career Center, also known as the WIOA One-Stop Center, and that’s a name you need to remember even beyond this event.

Because here’s the part a lot of people sleep on. The Tuscaloosa Area Career Center isn’t just showing up for one day. They’re a year-round resource right here in the city. Whether you need help building a resume, preparing for interviews, searching for jobs, or even figuring out a career path, you can walk into their building and get real assistance.
