After a response that was described as “overwhelming” to the job fair held for former Halliburton employees at Canadian Valley Technology Center, a subsequent career fair is now planned for anyone in the area who is seeking employment.
The career fair will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dec. 18 inside CV Tech’s seminar center on the southwest corner of the campus, located at 6505 E. Highway 66. Those wishing to attend do not have to be former energy company employees.
The pain in the oil patch continues to flow as area employees with Basic Energy Services Inc. were informed on Thursday the company plans to divest of its pumping services assets and sell the yards it operates in this area.
Trey Stolz, director of investor relations for Basic, said the exact number of employees impacted locally by the changes was not immediately available.
He said the plan will impact employees mostly in Oklahoma, Texas and Colorado. He said the change should impact about 350 people company-wide.
