Much appreciated local businesses that supported VSC with donations were: The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Gelson’s Supermarket and Venice Cold Brew The third annual Venice Skills Center Job and Career Fair drew a crowd of over 250 students and members of the community to meet with participating local and national companies and employment organizations. Thirteen vendors participated in the event including Wells Fargo, American Red Cross, Bankwork$, Sage Global, US Army, Navy, Jewish Vocational Services and many others. Channon Kelly, the recruiting specialist from Wells Fargo Bank commented, "I heard from our rep last year that this event was really well attended and successful so we knew we wanted to be here this year." Ten VSC student council members volunteered at the event and assisted with every aspect of event organization and execution--greeting guests, distributing brochures, organizing the food and refreshments, photographing the event, setting up tables for vendors and parking. The VSC office staff including Kathy Kaba, Karen Argumedo, Dalya Willingham, Michelle Broughton and Laura Masuda also worked hard to make the event a success and run smoothly.
