It will give job seekers an opportunity to meet employers face to face in one day.

“This is a unique approach to a job fair,” said Michelle Suchiu, Executive Director of Workforce WindsorEssex. “It’s great for job seekers and it’s great for employers who are looking for qualified staff.”

The companies participating range from the manufacturing, insurance, health care, agriculture, automotive and hospitality sectors.
