The military-to-civilian recruiting firm, RecruitMilitary, will present a free job fair for job seekers who have military backgrounds in Oklahoma City 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Thursday at the Coca-Cola Bricktown Events Center.
RecruitMilitary urges all job seekers — veterans who already have civilian work experience, men and women who are transitioning from active duty to civilian life, members of the National Guard and reserves and military spouses — to attend.
The event will be the 18th of 104 RecruitMilitary Career Fairs scheduled for 2008. RecruitMilitary will produce another career fair in Oklahoma City July 31.
More than 20 veteran-friendly organizations will conduct one-on-one interviews with the job seekers. Organizations will include corporate employers, law-enforcement agencies and other government employers, educational institutions, veterans service agencies and veterans associations.

Safety Council partners
with Rose State
The University of Texas at Arlington has been selected by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration to serve as an OSHA Training Institute Education Center.
The new addition to the UT Arlington Division for Enterprise Development will serve safety and health instructional needs throughout Region VI of the federal government (Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas).
“The Oklahoma Safety Council is honored to be a part of this new OTI appointment as we’ve been chosen and approved as a satellite training center for the University of Texas at Arlington,” said Dave Koeneke, OSC executive director.
The OSC has in turn chosen Rose State College as a primary partner for training.
“This is a great opportunity to receive high level OSHA safety education at a “state-of-the-art” multimedia facility without the necessity of traveling out of state,” Koeneke says.
The Oklahoma Outreach Training Facility, the partnership’s new name, will begin classes in early April. Until the OOTF Web site is completed, course schedules can be found temporarily on the homepage of the OSC Web site at www.oksafety.org.
More information is available by calling the OSC at 848-8626.
Clinic goes green
Sparks Clinic has announced the addition of a digital X-ray system.
A digital X-ray system removes the need to use silver rich chemicals that are released into the water system. It also eliminates the need for film that must eventually be destroyed and the silver recovered to prevent it from entering the environment.
The City ofNorman’s Silver Pollution Prevention Program addresses this issue with those facilities still using traditional film and development solutions. Digital X-ray images can be adjusted for the best possible reading and are ready almost immediately. They also can be copied to a compact disc for easy transport.
