Begin: What are major Northwest Arkansas employers such as the Wal-Mart Distribution Centers, Bekaert Corporation, Tyson Foods and Glad Manufacturing telling the Rogers - Lowell Area Chamber Of Commerce? Specifically, more than 60% of major local employers recently surveyed indicated a low volume of qualified applicants for jobs, specifically due to lack of experience and education.
The new ChamberPRO initiative of the Rogers – Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce interviewed 44 individuals from 38 companies representing a total of 139,404 Northwest Arkansas employees. Preliminary findings included more than 70% ranking local workforce quality and stability as “low.”
The Rogers - Lowell Area Chamber Of Commerce responded to these demonstrated business community needs by organizing the premier Northwest Arkansas Job Fair on Wednesday, October 12, 2005 at Embassy Suites of Northwest Arkansas in Rogers.
Employers are encouraged to register as soon as possible to secure exhibition space at the Northwest Arkansas Job Fair. Potential vendors may also call ChamberPRO staff to discuss specific ways to make their participation both productive and efficient. Because the event is a service to the business community, the booth cost is extremely affordable. Additional details for both employers and job seekers are available by calling the Rogers – Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce at 479-636-1240 or at www.RogersLowell.com
