Crayola Experience Marketing and Sales Manager Kristin Luise guides members of the media during a tour Tuesday morning at The Crayola Experience. The Crayola Experience closed in February to begin a number of renovations and plans to reopen by Memorial Day.
The Crayola Experience is holding two job fairs next week to fill positions at the new attraction opening later this spring in Downtown Easton.
The fairs are scheduled for 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. next Saturday at the Crayola Experience’s 30 Centre Square location.
Plans call for hiring 75 part-time employees to fill various jobs; that’s about 20-25 more employees than the number that worked at the facility prior to it shutting down for major renovations and an expansion in February, company officials said.
The additional hires are mostly due to the opening of Café Crayola, a new food and beverage section of the facility, officials said.
The part-time jobs include positions in admissions, retail, custodial, maintenance and food and beverage services.
Onsite screening will take place at the job fair, and candidates are encouraged to apply online prior to arrival. Visit crayola.com, scroll to the bottom of the home page and click on the “Career Center” icon to fill out an application.
The reopening of the Crayola Experience is scheduled for May 24.
