Job seekers urged to attend 2017 East Valley Job Fair

Job seekers will have an opportunity to meet employers who are ready to hire when the East Valley Regional 2017 Job Fair takes place on June 22.

The job fair is hosted by the San Bernardino County Workforce Development Board (WDB), and will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Renaissance Room of the National Orange Show, 689 South E St. in San Bernardino.

Organizers of the annual job fair urge job seekers to “dress for an interview and bring plenty of resumes.” Hundreds are expected to attend.

“The East Valley Regional Job Fair is an excellent opportunity to connect employers with the employees they need and want to grow their businesses,” said Robert Lovingood, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors. “This is an exciting time for San Bernardino County. Our economy is growing, businesses are expanding and job opportunities are presenting themselves in greater numbers than ever.”

Tony Myrell, Chairman of the Workforce Development Board, said job fairs such as this are one of several ways the WDB connects businesses with a skilled labor force.

“The work we do supports a strong, vibrant economy by encouraging business growth and creating opportunities for job seekers,” Myrell said.

Employers interested in taking part in the job fair are asked to RSVP no later than June 16. They can register online at http://conta.cc/2neCov4.
