Roanoke and New River Valley Career and Lifestyle Fair at Virginia Tech on April 18

The Roanoke and New River Valley Career and Lifestyle Fair presented by Delta Sigma Pi and sponsored by MyHometownJobs.com will be held at the Owens Banquet Hall at Virginia Tech on April 18 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The purpose of the fair is to showcase local-only organizations offering professional opportunities to college students and all people who want to stay in the region for the summer or after graduation. Additionally, lifestyle organizations featuring "things to do", as well as, entrepreneurial organizations that provide assistance to individuals wanting to start businesses will also be present.

To further support this event, a recent study shows that nearly 75% of young adults under the age of 28 select location first, then find a job. That is why it is important to dispel the myth that there is nothing to do in the region and that there are no job opportunities. Quite the contrary.

Please come out to this event and tell others about it too.
