Supervisor Saines to Host Sterling’s Second Spring Job Fair on May 6

Come and check out job and internship opportunities in Loudoun!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sterling, April 17, 2017: Loudoun County Board of Supervisors Member Koran Saines will host his Second Annual Spring Job Fair on May, 6, 2017, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The job fair will be held at Park View High School, which is located at 400 West Laurel Ave in Sterling. Supervisor Saines plans to feature more than 45 employers from varying industries throughout the county including technology, trade/construction, healthcare, hospitality/food service, retail, transportation and service. The employers participating in this year’s fair include: Loudoun County Public Schools; Loudoun County’s Sheriff’s Office and Departments of Fire and Rescue and Parks, Recreation and Community Services; the U.S. Army; YMCA Loudoun; NOVA Parks; Wegmans Food Markets; Washington Gas; and B.F. Saul Company.

“If you are looking for a job closer to your home, a change of career, or an internship, don’t miss out on May sixth,” said Supervisor Saines. “Last year, more than 200 members of the public attended and surprisingly there were more job opportunities than there were attendees.”

Loudoun residents of all ages and education backgrounds looking for job or internship opportunities are highly encouraged to attend the job fair. The target pool of applicants is broad and includes teens, young adults, unemployed, underemployed and workers who have long commutes. Individuals may RSVP at http://jobfair.rsvpify.com/. Check out the list of companies that will be recruiting at the event on the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/events/1404998996255829/.

In addition to employment opportunities, there will be workforce development resources available to those interested. Training Futures, a program of Northern Virginia Family Service that provides training to low-income individuals to gain professional, higher-wage office jobs, will have a table at the fair along with Loudoun’s Workforce Resource Center, which provides resume preparation help and career development workshops and other resources to help residents obtain jobs.

Event volunteering are needed! For questions or interest in volunteering, contact Supervisor Saines’ Legislative Aide Jacqueline Pujol at Jacqueline.Pujol@loudoun.gov.
