Georgica Workforce Opportunity Committee to Host Unique 2-Day Innovative Job Fair for Construction and Development Opportunities
On Wednesday and Thursday, the Georgica Workforce Opportunity Committee will be hosting a unique and innovative 2-Day Job Fair to help interested Long Islanders looking to enter the property construction and management field. The event—held in partnership with the Suffolk County Department of Labor and New York State—will be held at St. Joseph’s University in O’Connor Hall on Wednesday May 29 and Thursday May 30 from 6-8pm.
