Sponsors sought for Aerospace Job Fair


Hot Springs Memorial Field is seeking business and private sponsors to help underwrite costs for the Aerospace Job Fair, to be held on Saturday, April 28 at the airport.

Hosted by Hot Springs Metro Partnership, Arkansas Economic Development Commission and the airport, the event will highlight the current availability of well-paying local jobs in the aerospace industry.   Those wanting to change careers as well as graduating high school students who are considering career options will be encouraged to attend.  “The aerospace industry has now outpaced the rice industry as Arkansas’ number one export,”  Airport Director George Downie said.  “This fair will be a great opportunity to gather job information, and at the same time provide educational and entertaining activities for the whole family.”

In addition to booths by job recruiters and military recruiters, the job fair will also offer displays of World War II and other vintage aircraft; modern military aircraft; and a flight simulator from Henderson University.   Private flights on a World War II Mitchell B-25 Bomber will available by fee and by advance reservation.  For sponsorship details, contact Downie, 321-6750.
