Unfortunately due to a lack of registrations, WCCC had to cancel the Reverse Job Fair for this year. We wanted to make sure that we made this event valuable for both our students and our business/community partners. We encourage any interested parties to attend the HireMe! Career Fair on April 29 at the Tippecanoe Co. Fairgrounds. 

Wildcat Creek Career Cooperative is proud to announce its 3rd Annual Reverse Job Fair, taking place on Thursday, April 16 from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Clinton County Fairgrounds.

 This innovative hiring event puts students at the center. Instead of students moving between tables, they'll be stationed by career interests while employers rotate to meet them—making it easier to connect with the right candidates.

Participants include juniors in the Cooperative's work-based learning program and seniors seeking full-time employment across pathways like healthcare, early childhood education, culinary arts, agriculture, and more.

Wildcat Creek Career Cooperative invites businesses with positions for high school juniors or graduating seniors to attend. A small registration fee applies. Register by April 14, 2026 using the link below.

Students should register by April 10, 2026 using the link below. On the day of the event students should wear interview-appropriate attire, and bring at least five copies of their resume.

• Interview skills
• Resume building
• Workplace communication, confidentiality, and culture
• Banking and financial literacy
• Job searching, networking, and understanding benefits package

Jenny DeArmond with Stoops Freightliner helps students develop professional language skills in the Workplace Communication Session.  

WCCC was proud to collaborate with an incredible group of volunteers from diverse industries, including:

• Central Midwest Carpenters (IKORCC)
• Clinton House
• Rec Room Recording
• Soul Purpose Time

WCCC extends its heartfelt gratitude to all the partners and volunteers who made this event possible. Their support ensures that students are equipped with the tools they need to succeed in their future careers.
