The Rock County Job Center is seeking local employers to participate in its October 16 Job Fair to be held at the Pontiac Convention Center in Janesville. The multi-employer fair will be open to the general public from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. [10 a.m.-11 a.m. being just for veterans]. The event is a part of the Job Center’s ongoing commitment to connect employers with qualified job-seekers.
Employers from all industries and sectors are encouraged to participate. The cost remains at $150 per employer if registered by October 4, and includes booth space, electrical hookup, and wireless internet. Additional tables and boxed lunches are available for a nominal fee. Payment can be made via check, credit card or a Paypal account.
Employers having questions about the veteran’s preference portion from 10-11 a.m. can contact Charles Jones at the Office of Veterans Services at the Rock County Job Center at (608) 741-3522. Veterans participating must have registered in advance to speak to employer representatives to have their questions answered and fill out employment applications and related paperwork.
