ROCK ISLAND, Ill. — Employers around the Quad Cities are invited to participate in a hiring event for newly arrived immigrants and refugees on Thursday, May 23 at the Holiday Inn in Rock Island.
The event runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event will offer employers the opportunity to interact with and talk to prospects about jobs available in their businesses and review application processes.
"We hope this event offers our immigrant population a glimpse of all the wonderful career opportunities our local employers have to offer," Grace Fitzpatrick, director of empowerment programs at World Relief, said. "The job fair also offers our employers a new perspective on this untapped labor pool."
