whom were offered positions. The Casino_s goal is to have 1,200 jobs filled by this Friday and the Job Fair

was a big step in helping it meet the goal._

Gray said applicants came from a very diverse community and many _came prepared for the interview

dressed and armed with resumes._ On-site interviews were conducted by five members of the Casino

interview team.

Hosted by Workforce Development represented by Gray and Jay Matlack and the KCKCC Career Center

represented by Eric Kirkwood, the Job Fair is the result of an on-going relationship with the Hollywood

Casino that began in September shortly after the arrival of the Casino_s management team.

_Focusing on working together to meet the employment needs for Wyandotte County,_ we were able to

establish the foundation for a strong relationship,_ said Gray. _As a result, the Casino has been a strong

community and industry partner for the College with representatives serving on the College_s Essential

Employability Skills panel and advisory boards and their willingness to work with our students and feeder

programs._
