Some comments from previous Expo participants:

  • “Thank you. I’ve signed up before but didn’t attend. Now I know what I missed 🙂 This was very good. Thank you.”
  • I got a temp-to-perm assignment through Careers in Nonprofits (Expo Employer). It's lasted a month and is looking good for longevity.
  • “Currently working through Flex Professionals (Expo Employer) for a nonprofit.”
  • “The format is excellent! I appreciate the opportunities that this program offers!”
  • Thank you for organizing this event. I came away inspired to continue with my job/career change quest with some of the employers and explore other industries
