LiveWork Detroit! connects students with Detroit jobs
Pure Michigan Talent Connect will host the third annual LiveWork Detroit! Roadshow at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Powers Hall ballroom.
Ian McCain, a St. Clair Shores senior and president of Pure Michigan Talent Connect, said the goal of the show is to give students the chance to learn about Detroit and career opportunities the city offers.
“The idea is to bring Detroit to CMU,” McCain said. “Students should come to the event to learn a little more about Detroit, and gain a more holistic view of the city and hopefully break down some stereotypes that still exist.”
The event will be free and open to the public. Central Michigan University students will have a chance to see job opportunities Detroit has to offer. Students are encouraged to register on Facebook or through Career Services' "Handshake."
Companies located in Detroit will be in attendance, including Quicken Loans, Target and Team Detroit. Companies in attendance will offer opportunities for networking and passing out resumes and business cards.
Jeanette Pierce, from Detroit Experience Factory, will speak at 7 p.m. Food will be provided.
