Bonner County Career Fair on April 28

The Idaho Department of Labor and Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce will host the fifth annual Career Fair on April 28 at the Bonner Mall in Ponderay from noon to 6 p.m.

“The Career Fair is especially important to promote economic development by matching job seekers with employers,” Bridgette Bradshaw-Fleer of the Idaho Department of Labor said. “Even in this tough economy, businesses have available to them a large pool of highly qualified and skilled workers.”

Organizers invite businesses and organizations from the northern Idaho region to participate. An early bird special runs until March 23 so businesses are encouraged to reserve their spaces now.

The event is sponsored by Litehouse Inc., 95.3 KPND and Bonner County Daily Bee.

More information is available from the Idaho Department of Labor at (208) 263-7544. Participants can register for the Career Fair with the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce at (208) 263-2161 or online at SandpointChamber.com.
