The 21st Century Afterschool Program is sponsoring a job fair for the public on Tuesday, March 29, at Park View Middle School. In order to make this a worthwhile event for local residents, employers throughout Southside Virginia are encouraged to come.

There is no charge for participants, and a network lunch will be available for employers from 12-1 p.m. The event will be open to the public from 1:30-4:30 p.m.

Individuals should come to the job fair prepared to meet with employers and turn in written applications or apply online. The school will be providing a technology center on-site for those who need access to the Internet to apply for positions online.
