Career fairs provide your business with an opportunity to interact one on one with a large group of talented job seekers.  Our goal is to help you make connections to meet the workforce needs of your businesses.

Our Experience:

• Community events with businesses from specific towns or districts
• Specialized events with seasonal businesses

• Reach highly motivated jobseekers proactively pursuing career opportunities

We can help you have a successful career fair experience!
