Prineville job fair set for today
WorkSource Oregon has scheduled a job fair today in Prineville for former employees of Woodgrain Millwork, which announced more than 200 layoffs last week.
WorkSource, a division of the Oregon Employment Department, has scheduled the job fair 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Carey Foster Hall, Crook County Fairgrounds, Prineville, according to an announcement emailed Wednesday.
Companies with positions to fill may contact Shannon Houston, of WorkSource Oregon, at Shannon.L.Houston@oregon.gov or Regina Luna at rluna@woodgrain.com or 541-447-4177, ext. 246.
Woodgrain Millwork, based in Fruitland, Idaho, announced Nov. 25 it would close its door and window manufacturing plant due to damage from a roof collapse two weeks earlier.
Heavy snow caused the collapse, which resulted in extensive damage to the machinery inside, according to Prineville city officials.
The company was Crook County’s third-largest employer, according to Economic Development for Central Oregon.
