Over 100 Individuals Participate in Job Fair

About Blog Post Apr 13, 2022 by SCLSNJ

On Thursday, April 7, the Somerset County Library System of New Jersey (SCLSNJ) hosted their third annual Job and Volunteer Fair for Persons with Disabilities. Over 100 individuals participated in the in-person event hosted at the Bridgewater branch.

"The return of the SCLSNJ Disability Job Fair, after a two-year hiatus, was a remarkable success. Many attendees, participating employers, and service organizations expressed gratitude for the opportunities the fair provided. We thank them in return and look forward to continuing this as a rewarding tradition in the future," said Darryl Voorhees, manager of adult services programming and collaborations.
