Alternative Career Day

Saturday, February 1, 2025

10am-3pm

 

FoxView, 975 N. Main, Nashville, MI 49073

 

If working a typical job sounds less than exciting, now you can consider finding an alternative career. For example, working in an office 9 to 5, Monday to Friday, may not sound appealing, and working in a traditional job doesn't fit your lifestyle or interests, but many types of alternative careers provide a challenging and stimulating environment while offering job security and satisfaction, and now you can see firsthand what is available or inspiring to you!

 

On Saturday, February 1, from 10am to 3pm, FoxView is hosting an Alternative Career Day for anyone interested in learning what types of jobs exist where perhaps a college degree is unneeded, or where you can run your own business from the comfort of your own home. Many types of jobs exist online or in an industry which is largely unknown or is rarely thought of as an actual money-making possibility, so come out February 1 to learn more about what may interest you.

 

This event is FREE to attend and all ages are welcome! High school and college students, mothers, fathers or anyone, come find what you have been looking for, even if you already have a job. 

 

Lunch, snacks and beverages will be available for purchase. Speakers and presentations by alternative job holders and employers will be given throughout the day, with even more available for questions at their booths where you can learn the details of how to get started, or how to have your own alternative career!

 

Do you already have an alternative career and want to exhibit?

This is a great networking opportunity and chance to share your products or profession with an interested public who want to learn more about you! Booth space is FREE to those with an alternative career they wish to promote and share, or if you're looking to employ someone new.

 

Call (269) 758-4200 or visit YourFoxView.com for further details, or to reserve your booth space while still available.
