During the 2009 events, job seekers will have the opportunity to meet fellow Latino professionals, network with prominent Hispanic organizations and interview with top companies seeking employees with diverse backgrounds and language skills.
Attending organizations will meet hundreds of bilingual and multicultural professional candidates in a format that maximizes recruiting efficiency.
"With a challenging economic environment, maintaining a diverse workforce is more critical now than ever in order to reach all segments of the population with products and services. We at LatPro are confident in putting forth an equal number of job fairs in 2009 as we did in 2008," said LatPro Vice President of Sales, Rob Steward. "Employers have to be selective in where they go for their essential hiring, and with diversity a priority when filling key roles, LatPro career fairs are the perfect place to find highly qualified Hispanic and bilingual candidates across the country."
During the 2008 season, LatPro/NSHP career fairs were attended by over 6,000 job seekers and more than 200 diversity-conscious employers, including Accenture, AT&T, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, General Electric, Michelin, Pfizer, and the US Postal Service.
Response from employers and jobseekers was so positive that LatPro documented testimonials in a video designed to prepare future participants for the exciting day that they can expect at a LatPro/NSHP career fair.
