Career Fair Promises to Bring “Hope” to Unemployed:
Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee co-partners with local non-profit group

HOUSTON, TX – Nationally, the unemployment rate continues to edge at 9.9 percent with more than 15 million people left without jobs.  Locally, one organization is doing their part to by giving hope to the unemployed who are still searching for work.  This year, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee has joined forces with the Employment Training Institute (ETI), a program sponsored by Hope for Families, Inc. (HFF).  HFF is a Houston non-profit organization providing resources and innovative programs for families in the urban community.  Together, the congresswoman and ETI announce an initiative to tackle the economic crisis as they host Hope for Jobs – Career Fair and Mixer.

The career fair will be held from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., on Friday, May 28 at the Center for Hope located at 3015 North MacGregor Way, Houston, TX, 77004.

Hope for Jobs – Career Fair and Mixer is designed to help those job seekers, such as our youth, handicapped and jobless around the Houston metropolitan area, to present their job skills to a number of companies.  Candidates will have the opportunity meet with organizations seeking to hire them, and some may even hire on the spot!   All interested job applicants should register at our career fair website, to ensure their spot.  The unique setting will feature tons of giveaways, and a special “VIP Mixer” will be offered to the first 100 on-line registrants to meet and greet employers, before the fair is opened to the general public at 10 a.m.

Additionally, business organizations are still encouraged to partner with us, as they seek to provide stable employment for viable candidates. Employers may also register at the career fair website, or contact one of the career fair coordinators for more information.

So, take the first step in spreading the word about the Hope for Jobs – Career Fair and Mixer, and help restore Houston’s economy.
