The John A. Logan College Career Services office hosts an annual job fair during each spring semester. This event is designed to benefit local, regional, and national employers who are interested in attracting a qualified work force. The job fair has proven to be the finest of its kind among colleges in southern Illinois because it attracts such a cross section of people searching for specific career opportunities. Although a primary objective is to assist John A. Logan graduates in their quest for permanent employment, we open our doors to Southern Illinois University students as well as the general population in southern Illinois, especially the citizens within the John A. Logan College District. This has proven to be extremely beneficial to the various business and industry exhibitors and provides them a much greater opportunity of finding quality employees. We reserve only a certain number of spaces for participating businesses. If you would like further information about becoming an active participant, simply contact Career Services.
