The 2012 National Job Fair & Training Expo spring fair offered five distinct pavilions covering employment, training and education, career services, entrepreneurship-self-employment, and study-work-stay abroad programs. Focusing on opportunity and networking, the event strives to stimulate the national recruitment marketplace. With each new exposition, coordinators explore how trends in career development and the job search process have shifted over the last six months, inviting new exhibitors and creating innovative booths.
