The Delaware Congressional Delegation announced they will be hosting three job fairs this spring – one in each of Delaware’s counties. Businesses looking to hire are encouraged to reserve their spots early and to come prepared to interview talented job seekers who will show up with resumes in-hand.
“Even though the economy has begun to pick up, we can’t stop trying to help our out-of-work neighbors find jobs. It remains my top priority.” Senator Coons said. “Delaware is at its best when it comes together as a community. Nearly 5,000 job seekers came to our job fairs last year, and while I’ve loved hearing from Delawareans who found work at one of them, others still need our help. There are employers right here in Delaware ready to hire, and these job fairs will connect them with talented folks looking for jobs. We received a lot of great feedback about ways to improve on last year’s job fairs, and look forward to applying those lessons at these three fairs.”
Job Fair Schedule and Details:
- Kent County Job Fair: April 23, 2012 at Delaware State University in Dover
- Sussex County Job Fair: April 30, 2012 at Rehoboth Beach Convention Center in Rehoboth Beach
