More than 100 employers are expected to participate in a career and job fair planned for Grand Junction.

The Mesa County Workforce Center and Colorado Mesa University will host the Grand Valley Career and Job Fair, set for 1 to 5 p.m. April 27 at Lincoln Park off 12th Street.

The event will not only offer job seekers a chance to explore employment opportunities, but also offer employers a chance to meet with many applicants at one time and one location.

“Our strong collaboration with Colorado Mesa University continues to grow, and this event is a direct result of our joint efforts,” said Curtis Englehart, director of the Mesa County Workforce Center. “The Grand Valley Career and Job Fair is a great opportunity for our businesses to connect with local talent and fill their hiring needs.”

Sadye Saad, director of career services at CMU, said graduates help supply work force needs. “When you take those recent graduates, plus our alumni network, employers are sure to find the right person or people for the job.”
