PARSIPPANY — The Parsippany Area Chamber of Commerce’s Employment Outreach Program will be hosting it’s 6th Annual Job Fair to be held on Thursday, November 10 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Parsippany Hills High School, 20 Rita Drive. In prior years, over 450 potential job seekers and 25 hiring organizations attended this annual event.
“Our Job Fair has a reputation for supporting families and businesses over the years and in mentoring our young adults with practical business skills to become our future leaders. This is another example on how we strive to give back to our community!” stated Chamber President and Job Fair Chair Robert Peluso. The job fair is a great opportunity for job seekers to connect with area employers while gaining new skills through the event’s free workforce development seminar. However, there is much more to the event. The job fair is part of the Chamber’s Employment Outreach Program which is the Chamber’s unique approach to drive community and economic growth in the Greater Parsippany Area through providing employers with a high quality workforce. However, the success of the Job Fair and Employment Outreach Program, which assists job seekers and area employers, demonstrates the success of Chamber President and Job Fair Chair Robert Peluso’ s strategic partnership initiative.
In 2009, led by Peluso, the Parsippany Area Chamber of Commerce began focusing on creating strategic partnerships with other community based organizations.
To date the Chamber supports many local organizations and works with New Jersey Department of Unemployment and Morris County School of Technology which also assists in the Annual Job Fair.
“A high quality workforce creates an advantage in attracting and retaining top companies to the Parsippany Area. We provide comprehensive services, including: job postings, a website by clicking here, internship opportunities, scholarships for Parsippany High School and Parsippany Hills High School, training events, career counseling, and workforce development opportunities for students. All of these services are provided free of charge by the self-funded and volunteer based organization, however we could not make this program a success without our dedicated partner organizations,” stated Chamber President Robert J. Peluso.
