Representatives from 35 area businesses attended the event in search of candidates to fill employment vacancies. Local colleges including Hudson Valley Community College, Bryant & Stratton and Schenectady County Community College were also on hand to answer questions for individuals interested in furthering their education.
Each May, the EOC hosts a job fair as another means to assist students in finding employment. This was the first year the event was open to the public.
“Given the economic climate, we felt it was important to extend an invitation to the community. We were thrilled with the turnout and look forward to hosting similar community events in the future,” said Dr. Lucille Marion, Vice President of Hudson Valley Community College and Executive Director of the EOC.
