Central Indiana Job Fair
To help Hoosiers through these tough economic times, my priority has been to not only create new jobs, but also help hardworking jobseekers connect with emerging career opportunities. That's why I'm hosting the Central Indiana Job Fair, in cooperation with Ivy Tech Community College.

The job fair will take place Wednesday, August 25th from 9 AM to 3 PM at IUPUI's Campus Center in Downtown Indianapolis. The event is free and will provide an opportunity to speak with a diverse group of companies from various sectors that are looking to hire new employees here in central Indiana.
