Harrisburg city and school district to host job fair, networking event

Harrisburg School District’s Lincoln Administration Building

Harrisburg residents seeking employment will soon have a chance to network with business owners, local professionals and city officials.

The city, in partnership with the Harrisburg School District, will host a Contractor, Vendor and Employment Resource Fair on Saturday, March 25, at the district’s Lincoln Administration Building on State Street.

“The city of Harrisburg is open for business, whether that’s on Main Street or in city hall,” said Mayor Wanda Williams. “If we’re going to promote working in or for the city, then we need to have the resources available for anyone who wants to take part in what we’re building. I’m thrilled to partner with the Harrisburg School District to ensure anyone who wants to work here has that ability.”

The fair, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., will give businesses and people seeking employment the chance to meet with business and hiring professionals and officials from both the city and school district. Human resources staff will be present to give guidance on the application process.

Contractors, vendors and suppliers also can engage with administrators to learn more about the procurement process.

Spanish translation support will be available.

“The Harrisburg School District is excited to welcome talented, qualified contractors and vendors, including local, minority and women-owned entrepreneurs,” said district Superintendent Eric Turman. “We are looking forward to strengthening our collaboration with the city of Harrisburg, so that together, we can create innovative partnerships that will benefit and support our diverse school community and city.”

The Harrisburg School District’s Lincoln Administration Building is located at 1601 State St., Harrisburg. For more information, click here.
