Connecting with the Future Workforce at Senior Career Fair

The City of Statesville was proud to participate in the Iredell-Statesville Schools Senior Career Fair held today at Mitchell Community College. The event provided an opportunity to connect with graduating seniors and share the wide range of career paths available within city government.

Representatives from multiple departments were on hand to engage with students, answer questions, and highlight what a career with the City of Statesville can look like. Special thanks to Nick Turner from Human Resources, Chief Aaron Kennedy from the Statesville Fire Department, Shannon Viera from Statesville Public Power, and Officer Ben Hardy, Cpl.
