FAIRBORN — Wright State University has announced significant cuts to employment and will stage a career expo to help displaced workers.

The expo on June 27 is for employees whose jobs are eliminated. The university’s human resources department will match employees with local companies and higher education employers in need of the workers’ skills or experience.

The expo will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 2455 Presidential Drive, Fairborn.

Businesses interested in participating in the career expo should contact Jennifer Kostic at 937-775-2919 or [email protected] by June 16.

Wright State employees impacted by personnel changes can expect to be notified starting the week of June 12.

The fiscal year 2018 budget, which begins July 1, will include significant cuts to Wright State personnel and operations. The Board of Trustees will vote on the budget at its public budget workshop on June 8.

Wright State Human Resources will offer flexible coaching for displaced employees. The department’s goal is to provide departing employees guidance and support that aligns with their career paths and interests.

The university will provide tuition remission for impacted employees and their immediate dependents for two years following their separation date from the university.

Human Resources will also provide counseling, resume reviews, interviewing critiques and skills assessment to employees whose jobs are eliminated.

Employees losing their jobs will be able to use work time to seek other job opportunities.
