Capital Region BOCES career fairs afford employers an opportunity to meet their workforce needs

Capital Region BOCES provides a “pipeline” of skilled workers that support the regional economy, and that pipeline will be recharged during several career fairs sponsored by BOCES in the coming months.

From airlines to healthcare facilities, automotive dealerships to state agencies, a wide array of business recruiters will be on hand to engage students in the hiring process.
