Monmouth County will again offer employers and jobseekers the opportunity to connect at the Monmouth County Job Fair scheduled for Friday, Sept. 21. The event is free for employers to reserve a table and for jobseekers to attend.

The 2012 Monmouth County Job Fair will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Monmouth County Police Academy, 2000 Kozloski Rd. in Freehold. 

Last year’s job fair attracted more than 100 employers and an estimated 1,200 jobseekers. This year, employers in categories such as healthcare, government, retail, security, technology, manufacturing and sales are expected to attend.

“Only employers who have immediate job openings will be invited to participate in the 2011 Monmouth County Job Fair,” said Freeholder Thomas A. Arnone, liaison for the Monmouth County Department of Workforce Development. “This will improve the chances that jobseekers will find employment.”
