Hi all, Short notice for the Aug. 12 career fair but maybe a possibility for the Nov. 4th event >>> Offer access to the MiVirtual Career Fair at your library. A few years back while I still worked at CADL, we opened the computer lab at the downtown Lansing library to anyone interested in participating in the MiVirtual Career Fair - no library card needed - and assigned a librarian to be in the lab and help out as needed. We put up posters letting people know and Capital Area Michigan Works! spread the word among their staff and clients of the option to access the fair at the library. A small gesture maybe, but for those without a computer or library card or who needed a little more time or assistance to work through the process, it was something we were able to do.
