FORT SMITH, Ark – Even with its unique challenges, one of the important messages of 2020 has been and continues to be “jobs are available and economic development progress is happening.”
Companies have experienced contraction as well as growth and are now poised to move forward with their development plans and even expansion in some cases. I frequently talk to company leaders and the majority of them all say the same thing. They are looking for good, dependable and qualified individuals. The clear message is that companies are ready to hire for 2021.
I’m excited to introduce you to what we hope will become the hub for employers and potential employees to match enthusiastic potential workers to available open jobs in west central Arkansas and east central Oklahoma — CareerReadyFortSmith.com.
The new site has been developed over the past several months in partnership between the Fort Smith Regional Chamber, the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith and several area employers. It is a resource for those companies and workers located within Sebastian, Crawford, and Franklin counties, Arkansas, as well as LeFlore and Sequoyah counties in Oklahoma.
