Speaker Welch to Host 12th Annual Job Fair

FOREST PARK, Ill. – Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch is hosting his 12th annual job fair on Saturday, June 29th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will be held at Proviso Math and Science Academy in Forest Park. 

“This annual job fair is a great way to help people in the community connect with employers looking to hire now,” said Speaker Welch. “Even if you are not currently looking for a job, this is also a great way to network, pass along your resume, and speak with potential future employers.” 

The job fair is intended to help local job seekers connect with employers. Multiple vendors from state agencies to local companies looking to hire qualified individuals will be there. Attendees can network, submit their resume, and receive information about resources for the unemployed and underemployed.
