The University of Maine at Augusta, in collaboration with the Maine CareerCenter, is set to host a job and resource fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, April 12, in the Kennebec Savings Bank Lounge, Randall Student Center at the UMA Augusta campus, 46 University Drive.

The job fair is free and open to the public.

Whether hoping to find their first job, a better job or a new career direction, job seekers can find a wealth of opportunities at this event, according to a news release from Brent Wooten with the university. More than 20 hiring organizations from a variety of industry sectors, including several local employers, will be there to hire for immediate openings in a wide range of fields.

Haley Brown, Student Services coordinator, UMA, said, “We are very excited to partner with the Maine CareerCenter to bring this event to UMA. It’s a win-win for both job seekers and employers because employers are able to meet a lot of great candidates, and job seekers can expand their professional network and potentially land their next job or internship.”

Job seekers that need their resume reviewed prior to the fair can email Brown for a free evaluation.
