Between 20 and 30 employers from government, financial, healthcare, retail, security, insurance, sales, military, non-profit, marketing, hospitality and other sectors will be represented at the job fair, which is sponsored by the ACC Career Center. Information and advising on ACC career, degree and certificate programs also will be available.

This free job fair will enable ACC students and the general public to meet one-on-one with recruiters and human resource staff members from a large number of employers. Attendees should “dress for success” and bring copies of their resumes.
