Burlington County will be hosting a fall job fair on Friday, Sept. 19. The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Burlington Center Mall on Route 541 in Burlington Township.
“As part of our aggressive Workforce Development Initiative, we are actively matching jobseekers with local employers looking to sustain and expand their business in Burlington County,” said Freeholder Director Bruce Garganio.“This event is designed to allow jobseekers to have personal contact with prospective employers who seek to fill positions ranging from entry-level to management. Participating businesses will represent New Jersey’s top growing industries: health care, hospitality, retail, finance, skilled trades, transportation, technology and more.”
In the weeks leading up to the job fair, the Burlington County American Job Center will be conducting workshops to assure that job seekers are prepared to meet with prospective employers. Workshops will include assistance with writing a resume, interviewing skills, properly completing on-line job applications and more.
For dates and times of the workshop, see www.BurlingtonCountyWorks.com. To reserve a seat in any of the pre-event workshops, jobseekers should call (609) 518–3900 to reserve a space.
Businesses interested in participating in the job fair should contact the Workforce Investment Board at (609) 265–5603. Registration is open until Sept. 12.
