Taylor Inman sat with the Kalispell Chamber of Commerce Workforce and Special Initiatives Director Jennifer Cronk and Neal Drakage with the Montana Department for Labor and Industry. They discussed the Spring Job Fair coming up on April 11th at the Flathead County Fairgrounds. It’s a fantastic opportunity for local businesses to hire full-time, part-time, and seasonal employees. On the flipside, it’s a great place for anyone to explore their opportunities in a career shift.
