Syracuse University hosting career, vendor fair on Thursday at Oncenter

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse University is hosting a career and vendor fair on Thursday, April 28, as part of its “Go Local” economic initiative.

The event is scheduled for 3-6 p.m. at the Nicholas J. Pirro Convention Center at Oncenter, lower level, at 800 S. State St. in Syracuse.

Local business owners can meet with Syracuse University purchasing managers to identify opportunities to see how their goods and services can supply the university’s needs, Syracuse said. At the same time, individuals can attend to check out and apply for one of the hundreds of job openings at the university.

Those interested are asked to register for the event at this link.

About “Go Local”

“Go Local” is Syracuse University’s “commitment to leverage the economic power of the institution to improve regional economic inclusion” through four key areas: building, hiring, buying, and community connections.

The initiative seeks to broaden participation of local, minority, women and veteran-owned businesses in construction and service-contracting opportunities; expand hiring of local residents, with a focus on neighborhoods in need of job opportunities; and increase economic growth and employment in Syracuse through the university’s purchasing activities, the school said.
