“We are looking forward to using this event to provide an opportunity for those seeking employment to explore both jobs and resources available through our RADAR grant,” Project Director Sommer Edwards said in a release. “We provide free in-person and online pre-apprenticeship learning/training programs to eligible job seekers who are interested in participating in a registered apprenticeship program, which is a pathway to a good-paying career.”

More than 30 employers from various sectors have already signed up to participate in the virtual job fair. Many are hiring immediately and will have representatives on hand to talk to job seekers.
