Library Expanding Partnership with CMS through Hiring Events
September 21, 2023
*Written by David Sniffin, Library Program Manager - Workforce Development*
Beginning in February of 2023, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, in partnership with Charlotte Works/NC Works, started hosting hiring events with Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools at targeted regional locations. So far, hiring events have been hosted at Independence Regional Library, North County Regional Library, and South County Regional Library.
These are not traditional job fairs but are designed and marketed as hiring events where job seekers can earn employment on the spot. These hiring events are the first time that CMS has offered joint instructional and non-instructional hiring opportunities to fill existing needs across multiple schools and departments. The Library looks forward to continuing this partnership as it continues to offer hiring events throughout 2023 and into late 2024.
Hiring events will take place at the following locations through 2024:
- Allegra Westbrooks Regional on April 24
- Independence Regional on May 15
- Allegra Westbrooks Regional on June 25
- South County Regional on July 31
