Job Fair to take place on March 8 in Owego

The Tioga County Business Services Team will be hosting the 3rd Annual Tioga County Job Fair on Wednesday, March 8. The Job Fair will be held at the Owego Treadway Inn and Conference Center on Route 17C in Owego from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. 

There are 86 employers participating in this year’s event, and all of these employers will have open jobs that they are hoping to fill. Employment opportunities will include entry level to professional positions, and will cover a broad spectrum of occupations. 

Many employers today utilize online applications to locate potential candidates for job opportunities, making it difficult for job seekers to connect personally with employers. This event provides an excellent opportunity for job seekers to meet and network with employer representatives in person. 

Job seekers will receive a packet at the job fair registration desk on March 8 with a list of employers, table number, and jobs available with that employer. 

Any job seekers wanting more information on jobs available, or who would like to pre-register for the job fair can stop in to their local Workforce office. The Tioga Employment Center is located at 1062 Route 38, Owego; or Tioga Employment Center personnel can also be reached at (607) 687-8483. 

A list of employers can be found on the Tioga County website under the Tioga Employment Center (tiogacountyny.com). Job seekers can also access the NYS Dept of Labor website at newyork.us.jobs to view current open positions, or can visit individual employer websites to view their job postings.
