Job seekers and students in Cranbrook have a chance to take a big step toward a better future. The Cranbrook Career Expo is happening on Thursday, Sept. 4, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. MDT at the Kinsmen Arena. The event is free to attend and is open to anyone looking for work, thinking about changing careers, or wanting to continue their education.
Organized by Black Press Events, the Cranbrook Career Expo aims to help people connect directly with employers, schools, and training providers. It’s a chance to explore real opportunities and talk to people who can guide you on your path.
Felicia Galea, the Events Manager, says this expo is perfect for anyone who wants to explore job and learning options in one place. She says that talking face-to-face with employers and educators offers more value than browsing job boards online.
This year’s expo will feature more than 35 employers and education providers. Some of the well-known names attending include the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 1003, the Insurance Brokers of B.C., the City of Cranbrook, and St. Eugene Golf Resort and Casino. These companies are looking to meet skilled workers, new graduates, and people ready to start a new job path.
Visitors will also find schools like the College of the Rockies at the event. They’ll be sharing helpful information about their programs, courses, and training options. Whether you’re thinking about going back to school or learning something new to boost your career, you’ll find helpful advice.
The event is designed to be welcoming and easy to join. People can register online for a free ticket, which also lets them skip the line on the day of the event. The ticket system is simple and gives you quick access to the expo as soon as you arrive.
Everyone attending is encouraged to bring copies of their resume, dress professionally, and be ready to speak with recruiters. Some companies will be doing on-site interviews, which means there’s a real chance of getting hired the same day.
Galea says this type of in-person event gives attendees a big advantage. It’s often easier to understand job roles, training programs, and company cultures when you hear directly from the source. Plus, you can ask questions and get quick, clear answers.
There’s still time for businesses and education providers to join the event. Any company or school that wants to take part can visit the official event page to learn more and book a booth. This is a good way to meet local talent and share what your organization offers.
The Cranbrook Career Expo isn’t just about finding a job. It’s about exploring what’s possible and taking steps toward a better future. People of all ages and experience levels are invited to come and take part. Whether you’re just starting out or thinking about making a change, the expo has tools to support your goals.
With dozens of employers and educators ready to connect, it’s a smart way to find out what’s out there. You don’t need to travel far or search endlessly online. Everything is in one place, and the support is there to help you make the most of your visit.
