“Meet Your Next Employer” regional job fair
West Valley cities come together to help people find jobs.
Peoria,
Ariz. (August
18, 2011)
– West Valley cities often work together to build new roads, attract
major events, or join hands on legislative stands. Now, the West Valley is
hosting a regional job fair called “Meet Your Next Employer.” Hosted by the city
of Peoria’s Economic Development Services, the job fair will be held at the
Peoria Sports Complex on October 12 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Admission for employment-seeking attendees is free and
the first 500 people will receive a complimentary ballpark lunch.
This regional
event will be comprised of employers from the Phoenix Metropolitan area that are
looking for employees to fill positions in their companies. There will be
opportunities in all industries for the attendee to explore,
audience-wide presentations and one-on-one conversations between employers and
prospective employees. In addition, Workforce Connections will be
available for a skills assessment and to assist the job seeker in determining
possible career paths.
In this rough
economy many people that have been laid off are exploring the possibilities of
opening small businesses. The Small Business Development Center (SBDC) will be
on site to discuss how to take those first steps in opening up a small
business.
This event affords a range of opportunities for Sponsors and
Exhibitors in exchange for various business development and marketing benefits.
There are unique opportunities to address the entire event crows and get some
exposure on the ballpark big screen! Please call for more information on
participation as a sponsor or exhibitor.
