Pre-registration is not required for this event. Free parking is plentiful for all attendees at the Dover site.
This is the third year in which the delegation has partnered with Brandywine Counseling and Community Services to host the Kent County job fair. Brandywine Counseling will also be on hand to provide job search skills workshops like resume-writing and interview techniques.
“Our economy is growing, but we need to make sure it’s growing for everybody,” said Senator Coons. “We've been hosting these job fairs to connect those looking for jobs with employers ready to put them to work. The fairs are a great opportunity for job seekers to meet with representatives from government agencies, private sector, staffing agencies, military recruiters and others. We hope that organizations that are hiring will reach out to meet many talented Delawareans who are looking for work at the job fairs.”
“The national economy is picking up steam. But we still have too many Delawareans who are unemployed or underemployed and looking for work,” said Congressman John Carney. “Over the last several years, we’ve done job fairs in every part of the state to connect qualified job seekers with employers looking to hire. We’re looking forward to building on that in 2015, starting in Dover this month.”
