More than 60 employers–with some 3,000 positions to fill–will be accepting résumés and talking to job seekers Thursday, May 3, at a job fair sponsored by State Senator Jose R. Peralta and Elmcor Youth and Adult Activities, Inc.
The fair will be held at the Elmcor Recreation Center, located at 107-20 Northern Blvd. in Corona, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. Most of the available positions pay between $30,000 and 70,000 a year.
Some of the employers that will be on hand include North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System, Time Warner Cable, the Aqueduct Racino, AFLAC, Macy’s, Regal Cinemas, Starbucks and a variety of government agencies, as well as labor unions with apprenticeship opportunities available.
“There is not a more important issue than the state of the economy and the large number of unemployed and underemployed,” Senator Peralta said. “There are long-term economic development projects that I’m working on that will help create jobs in Queens, but there are just too many people who literally cannot afford to wait for things to get better. They need a job now, not next year.”
“In these difficult times, our goal is to support families,” Victoria Williams, the executive director of Elmcor, said. She noted that Elmcor offers job training opportunities through the State University of New York Attain Computer Lab program and employment referrals through Elmcor’s Carreer Pathways initiative, in addition to other support services, including food pantries and afterschool programs.
More than 1,400 people turned out for the job fair Senator Peralta and Elmcor sponsored in September.
