CAREERSOURCE CAPITAL REGION HOSTS GOVERNMENT & NON-PROFIT HIRING FAIR
Sector-based hiring fairs strategically connect employers and career seekers
TALLAHASSEE–CareerSource Capital Region (CSCR) will host its third sector-based Career Connections hiring fair on Wednesday, June 1 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Tallahassee Community College Center for Workforce Development. This hiring fair will focus on careers within the Government and Non-Profit sectors.
Traditionally, CSCR hosts its annual regional job fair each January; however, this year, it’s hosting three sector-based Career Connections hiring fairs instead. The hiring fairs differ from job fairs in that they feature employers with current vacancies for career seekers who are targeting the specified industries.
“The first two hiring fairs featuring IT, Professional and Financial Services and Medical and Healthcare sectors saw great returns” said Kara Palmer, director of client solutions and advancement. “Close to 500 career seekers and 50 employers participated, and several career seekers were interviewed and offered positions with local employers.”
The hiring fair is open to the public and offered at no cost to employers and career seekers.
Approximately 25 employers looking to fill full-time, part-time or temporary positions in government and non-profit agencies are set to attend. All of the employers have one or more current vacancies they are looking to fill immediately.
In order to participate in the hiring fair, career seekers must be registered in the Employ Florida Marketplace at www.EmployFlorida.com. Professional dress is required, and career seekers should bring several copies of their résumé.
To prepare career seekers, CareerSource Capital Region will host Employ Florida Marketplace registration workshops, résumé critique sessions, and professional communication workshops prior to the fair.

The Greater Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce is the series sponsor for the hiring fairs; MGT of America serves as the government and non-profit event sponsor.
