Centre County Job Fair to feature over 80 local employers at C3 Sports Center

Under the bright lights of the Centre County Board of Commissioners meeting, a sense of optimism filled the air as officials announced an upcoming opportunity for job seekers in the region. The Centre County Spring Job Fair is set to take place on Wednesday from 1 PM to 4 PM at the C3 Sports and Events Center, conveniently located just past the mall at 200 Ellis Place.

This event, a collaboration between Pennsylvania CareerLink of Centre County and the Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County (CBICC), promises to be the largest job fair in the area, featuring over 80 employers, including various positions within the Centre County government itself. The job fair is free and open to the public, making it an accessible opportunity for those looking to enhance their careers.

Commissioner Concepcion expressed gratitude for the resources available to help skilled individuals in Centre County find meaningful employment. “We are incredibly fortunate to have organizations that support our community,” he noted. The emphasis on local employers aims to retain the talented workforce that contributes to the region's unique character and prosperity.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their resumes and prepare to engage with potential employers, as this event could serve as a stepping stone for many in their career journeys. With such a diverse array of companies present, early arrival is recommended for those hoping to connect with multiple organizations.

In addition to the job fair announcement, the commissioners noted that the next board meeting scheduled for Tuesday has been canceled due to the upcoming election. They also reminded the public that Centre County government offices will be closed on Monday, May 26, in observance of Memorial Day.

As the meeting concluded, the focus on community support and employment opportunities left attendees with a sense of hope and anticipation for the future.
