The Streetsboro Area Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with the city of Streetsboro would like to invite organizations and businesses to take part in its second annual Employment Expo.
The Chamber and the city are coordinating the second annual Streetsboro Employment Expo to assist job seekers with employment opportunities and connect businesses throughout the greater Streetsboro area. The 2014 Streetsboro Employment Expo takes place in the gymnasium at Streetsboro High School, 1900 Annalane Drive in Streetsboro Tuesday, March 18 from 5-7:30 p.m.
Mayor Glenn M. Broska, City of Streetsboro, commented:
“The 2013 Streetsboro Chamber Employment Expo was a truly exciting event. For the first time in many years the Chamber and the City have partnered and made the Expo memorable. This year’s Expo is sure to show evidence of the power of cooperation between our Chamber, local agencies, and business partners. Through support and teamwork we are offering a prime local opportunity for both job-seekers and employers to showcase their skills and advertise their businesses.”
There will be diversity in participation through retail, commercial, industrial and professional businesses alike, offering all levels of employment. Non-profit organizations seeking volunteers will be participating as well. Members in good standing with the Streetsboro Area Chamber of Commerce who are seeking employees are invited to participate for free as a valued member benefit. While other job fairs and employment events can often cost $500 or more for exhibitors, companies are welcome to participate for a fee of $250. Or exhibitors have the option to join the Chamber and can then participate in the Employment Expo at no charge.
The event’s main sponsor is Step2 Co. The L’Oreal Company is our Fortune 500 Sponsor, and Portage Development Board is an Entrepreneur Sponsor at the event. One $750 “Fortune 500” sponsorship is available, and two $500 “Executive” sponsorships are still available. Those sponsorships will include mention of the companies in a wide variety of promotional and marketing efforts. For more specifics, contact the Chamber. The Chamber is anticipating several hundred job seekers will take advantage of the event.
Valerie Fiala, Executive Director of the Streetsboro Area Chamber of Commerce, commented:
“The Streetsboro Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce its second annual Employment Expo. The event focuses on connecting businesses with qualified job candidates while eliminating some of the typical challenges faced by the current employment market. By partnering with the city of Streetsboro and supporting sponsors, the Chamber has anticipated the need for an event like the Employment Expo and has also gained considerable insight into the unique needs of local businesses and the general public. Having many employers and prospective employees under one roof has the potential to save everyone time, energy, and money. There is no doubt that this event will be a benefit to everyone.”
Space is limited to approximately 40 exhibitors; therefore participation is on a first come, first serve basis. The final deadline for all participating companies to register is March 11.
