JOLIET – Area job seekers are invited to attend a weekly job fair hosted by the Workforce Services Division of Will County and the Illinois Department of Employment Security from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 1, at the Workforce Center of Will County.

Among the positions employers will be looking to fill are cargo warehouse agent, certified medical assistants, driver/service worker, drivers, forklift operators, general laborers, installation technician trainees, machine operators, medical receptionist, package handlers, ramp service agent, snow shovelers, truck driver/ramp agent and warehouse associates.

WSD Administrative Manager Susan Flessner said the events allow job seekers to meet with several employers at once.
