South County Job Fair Coming; Exhibitors Sought, Public Welcome

Hillsborough County Commissioner Sandy Murman is set to host a South County Job Fair on Friday, Sept. 27, from 8:30 a.m. to noon at Hillsborough Community College's SouthShore Campus in Ruskin.

The event is being held in association with the Tampa Bay Workforce Alliance, Hillsborough Community College SouthShore and Hillsborough County. Employers are encouraged to participate; job fair exhibitor forms are online.

The campus is at 551 24th Street, N.E. in Ruskin.

"With the challenges that we are all facing with the economy, the most important thing that we can do in county government is to help our unemployed or under employed citizens to find jobs," Commissioner Murman said in an event announcement. "When more people are working, more people are saving and spending money at local businesses, and the economy continues to improve."

The announcement contends that no area "has been hit harder" in the commissioner's district than South Hillsborough County.

"It’s still critical that we get people back to work,” Murman said.

The South County Job Fair is free and open to the public. For more information call David Robinson at Tampa Bay Workforce Alliance at 813-930-7868.
