“Due to the success of our Career Fair event in May, the employers that participated reported a significant impact on their staffing increases from being able to interact with the local job seekers. And, with so many job seekers in our area that are still in need of securing jobs, we felt it was the right time to host a second event to connect the unemployed and employers,” stated Lisa Pfeifer, Director of the Workforce & Business Development Program at the Community Action Committee of Pike County. “The goal of the Career Fair 2.0 is to assist everyone attending who is seeking employment with finding their next job. Our team is working diligently with participating employers to ensure that no one is left out.”
