PIPESTEM, W.Va. — The West Virginia State Parks system will host an on-site and virtual job fair at Pipestem Resort on May 11 to recruit people for positions at the park.

The job fair, hosted in partnership with the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, Workforce West Virginia and the Region 1 and Region 3 Workforce Development boards, will be open 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“A summer job at a state park is such a rewarding experience and a great opportunity for folks in need of work to get into the tourism and hospitality industry,” said West Virginia State Parks Chief Brad Reed.

The open-air job fair will be located at the park visitor center, near the Canyon Rim Center.
