"Jobs & Skills Fair - Washington, DC"

As a service to the community to help put the Washington, DC region back to work, the U.S. Department of Labor is holding a Jobs and Skills Fair called "Workforce Recovery Conference," on Thursday, January 10, 2002 from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm at the Washington Convention Center. The Center is wheelchair accessible and is located at 900 9th Street NW (use the 9th Street Entrance). It is near both the Metro Center and Gallery Place Metro subway stops.

In addition to companies interviewing job seeking candidates, there will be information on training, certification, skills, education and one-stop access to the full range of government services for workers in transition.

This event is open to all candidates, with and without disabilities.

ATTENTION Employers, trainers, service providers - exhibiting is free, but space is limited. If you wish to exhibit, email jobsfair@raskydc.com or fax to (202) 530-7714, before January 1.
