“Between the two companies, nearly 500 employees will be losing their jobs,” Van Treeck said. “Sheboygan County currently has more than 2,000 job openings and is looking to fill these positions.”
Five Sheboygan companies and 25 companies from around the Fox Valley area participated in the job fair.
