Orland Township hosted its annual Summer Job Fair in June, and the first 100 jobseekers received a $50 gas card after speaking with a few of the employers on site.
The fair was open to all members of the public and attracted nearly 200 guests. Thirty companies were in attendance, representing a variety of industries, including healthcare, financial, manufacturing, transportation and retail. Attendees networked with local companies and spoke with their representatives about current job openings. There were plenty of opportunities to learn about both long-term careers and simple summer jobs.
“It was a great opportunity for many of our residents,” said Supervisor Paul O’Grady. "I hope those who took the time to come out and meet with our employers had success in obtaining a job from our fair.”
