Event Testimonials
There were a lot of people and employers, so there was a lot of variety to choose from. I even found some jobs I might not have considered before! The extra resources like the little café area and computer lab were a nice touch too for those necessities.
2022 In-Person Job Seeker Attendee
I have a disability and was able to address it right away and employers were able to point out job leads that potentially will be a good fit for me.
2022 In-Person Job Seeker Attendee
I enjoyed the fact that we were able to make the space our own. Not only were we able to network with potential employees, we were able to reach out to other businesses in the community and create potential resources.
2022 Business Attendee
(The event) brought in a vast array of job seeking talent. Seeing and speaking with people face to face is always optimal from a job fair perspective.
