E³ CAREER AND RESOURCE FAIR COMING TO
DENVER ON SEPTEMBER 9

Free event offers job opportunities plus access to resources and information 

(DENVER)  --  On Wednesday, September 9, the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment will partner with six metro area Workforce Centers to produce an event for job seekers at the Colorado Convention Center in downtown Denver.  “This is our eighth year of connecting people with job opportunities and resources,” says Donald J. Mares, Executive Director of the Department of Labor and Employment, “and our event has never been more important to Colorado than this year.  We will have a full spectrum of employers with positions to fill as well as information, advice and numerous resources.”

The three E’s in the title refer to the three components that will lead Colorado back to economic recovery: education, economic growth and employment.  The E3 Career and Resource Fair brings together education and training providers, businesses and governmental entities, all working together for Colorado’s success in the year ahead.

A variety of workshops will be offered during the day and Workforce Center staff will be on hand to talk about the many free services they can provide, answer questions and provide résumé advice and assistance.  Among the many other service providers on hand will be representatives from higher education who can help individuals set a course of action to put new careers within reach.  And at the heart of the event are many job opportunities.

A diversity of industries will contribute to Colorado’s emergence from the recession.  The E3 Career and Resource Fair offers positions in most of them: energy, telecommunications, hospitality and tourism, transportation, healthcare, government, sales, construction and more.  Whether you’re ready to make a major career transition or simply want a seasonal part-time job, you’ll find employers at the event who will be interested in talking with you.

More information about this free event is available online at www.coworkforce.com/e3.  Job seekers should register for the E3 Career and Resource Fair and that can also be done quickly online.
