EVERGREEN PARK, IL — Illinois State Rep. Rick Ryan (36th District) and other elected officials will hold a job and resource fair Thursday, Jan. 29. The job fair runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Worth Township Center, 11601 S. Pulaski Road, Alsip.

Ryan called the job fair “a vital service” giving attendees, regardless of their background or current circumstances, an ”equitable opportunity to connect directly with potential employers.”

“People deserve to have an opportunity to showcase their talents and skills,” the Evergreen Park lawmaker said. “Unfortunately, for many in our community, the path to employment can be hindered by a lack of resources, including access to job search tools, professional networking opportunities or even transportation to interviews.”

The job fair will feature diverse industries, including healthcare, construction, IT and retail administration, transportation, warehousing and logistics, and social services and career resources.

Joining Ryan is hosting the community job and resource fair are Rep. Michael Crawford (31st District), Rep. Mary Gill (Dist. 35), Sen. Bill Cunningham (18th District), Worth Township Supervisor Patricia Joan Murphy, and the YWCA.
