Temple neighbor Lanei Burke (right) looks over literature about the Overbrook School for the Blind with help from Carol Havens, the school’s human resources coordinator.
On May 23, Temple University hosted its first “Neighbor’s Job Fair" in Mitten Hall’s Great Court.
About 200 job seekers from Temple’s surrounding neighborhoods had a chance to meet employers affiliated with the university, such as United Concordia and Contemporary Staffing Solutions.
The job fair was sponsored by the Office of Community Outreach & Hiring, part of the Human Resources Department.
Organizers plan to sponsor a Resource Day Fair on Thursday, June 14.
