The fair targets job seekers from the Greater Binghamton area, college students home during break, and people visiting families over the holidays. It’s an opportunity to educate people about job opportunities in the region and encourage them to return to the area.
The chamber will also offer a “profile packet” for all job seekers highlighting companies hiring 16- to 18-year-olds to encourage high-school juniors and seniors to attend.
