2nd Annual DuPagePads Career Fair
The solution to end homelessness = Housing + Support Service + Employment
The DuPagePads 2nd Annual Career Fair was held on Monday, June 19, at the College of DuPage. There were more than 200 attendees, that had the opportunity to network with representatives from 35 local employers from a variety of fields including healthcare, manufacturing, security, tech support and more.
Results are still coming in, but we know one of our clients was hired on the spot!
Thank you to all employee partners who participated, volunteers who helped prepare our clients and the many generous donors of professional clothing!
