Morgan County Job Fair
MCEDC hosted the first Morgan County Job Fair on March 15th at the County Fairgrounds in Martinsville. Thanks all employers, job seekers, and volunteers who participated!
Study: Jobs following Hoosiers, not vice versa
New research suggests a "major switch" in recent years when it comes to where employers are choosing to locate. The study finds that Hoosiers are no longer seeking communities with abundant job opportunities as they did in the 1970s. Instead, businesses and available jobs have begun to gravitate toward the places where people want to live.
Interns for Indiana/Interns for Entrepreneurship
This program uses a mutual selection process to match companies with Purdue University students from a wide variety of academic disciplines who can assist in research, product development, process improvement, marketing, sales, and other company needs.
