This year the Western Washington County Employer Council will be in partnership with WorkSource Portland Metro's Employment Department throughout the region. We have joined together with the Tualatin, Central Portland, Gresham and Oregon City along with SW Washington and Work Systems Inc to bring you the biggest job and career fair in Oregon.
On Wednesday, March 7, 2012 at the Oregon Convention Center we will bring up to 100 hiring employers, job seeker workshops, trainers and more under one roof to help our local communities get back to work. Join us as an exhibitor or as a job seeker for this very exciting event.
