HUBZone Job Fair Planned in Leesburg Tuesday; Gas Card Giveaway

Businesses that are part of the HUBZone program are looking for workers. And workers looking for those businesses should head to the Best Western Hotel and Conference center in Leesburg Tuesday, Nov. 19.

The Leesburg Economic Development Office and BLS Group Inc. have planned a HUBZone Job Fair from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the hotel, 726 East Market Street.

“This is the perfect opportunity for people looking for jobs to meet over 20 great companies looking for HUBZone employees,” said Marantha Edwards, Economic Development Director in a prepared statement. 

Besides employers, other HUBZone-related information will be available during the fair for prospective businesses as well as employees.

Those attending will have the chance to win one of three prepaid gas cards valued at $100, $50 and $25.
