Employers wanted for Cass County College & Career Expo
The annual Cass County College & Career Expo is currently looking for area employers who would like to host a booth at the event.
Logansport High School will once again host the annual job fair from 9 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 22 at the Berry Bowl.
Local employers will have the opportunity to promote current job openings and share internship opportunities. They may also talk with students about the needed skill to work in their business or organization.
High school students in attendance may also participate in small group Career Discovery Meetings with college representatives and employers.
The Career Discovery Meetings are set up for five students to meet in a small group for 30 minutes. These meetings will be conducted at the beginning of the Expo, giving business leaders an opportunity to meet with these students.
Indiana House Bill HEA-1002 requires each entity that wants to participate in the Career Discovery Meetings to complete a brief interest form to meet with the students. More information on the bill and how to prepare for the meetings can be found on the Indiana Commission for Higher Education website.
Under the bill, starting this school year, all junior and senior students in Indiana are required to meet with employers or college admission representatives to cover future career and educational opportunities.
Employers interested in participating should contact Suzanne Dillman, associate director of enrollment services and admissions for Ivy Tech's Kokomo service area, by email at sdillman@ivytech.edu or by telephone at 574-398-6090.
Representatives from colleges and universities across the state also will be on hand to discuss the career and educational opportunities they offer.
Event sponsors include the Logansport/Cass County Chamber of Commerce, Logansport High School and Ivy Tech Community College.
The event will be targeted at 10th- to 12th-grade students from Logansport High School and the Century Career Center and students and alumni from Ivy Tech as well as the general public. Chamber members have been invited to participate along with employers who work with Ivy Tech in recruiting new employees.

"Wine Olympics" returns to China as international expo opens
YINCHUAN, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 11 June 2025 - The Fifth China (Ningxia) International Wine Culture and Tourism Expo opened Monday in Yinchuan, capital of northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, with the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles (CMB) -- dubbed the 'Wine Olympics' -- returning to China after seven years. The opening ceremony of the Fifth China (Ningxia) International Wine Culture and Tourism Expo in Yinchuan, northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. (Xinhua/Wang Peng) The four-day event has attracted over 1,100 domestic and international guests, featuring 14 activities such as a winery and wine exhibition, an innovation competition, and an art biennial. Making its China debut in 2018 in Beijing, the CMB has this year brought together nearly 400 international judges and over 7,000 wine samples, including a record number of entries from China, according to CMB Chairman Baudouin Havaux. 'This event opens a new era for the global visibility of the Chinese wine industry,' Havaux said. He added that it is no coincidence the 32nd edition of the CMB is being held in Yinchuan, as it clearly reflects the growing strength of Chinese wine, especially that of Ningxia.

After four decades of development, Ningxia has become China's largest wine-producing region. The eastern foot of Helan Mountain is widely regarded as a 'golden zone' for grape growing and high-end wine production. By the end of 2024, Ningxia had more than 600,000 mu (around 40,000 hectares) of wine grape plantations and an annual wine output of 140 million bottles. Its wines are exported to over 40 countries and regions.
