Centre County Job Fair Expected to Feature More Than 100 Employers

Job seekers will have the opportunity to connect with more than 100 employers at an upcoming Centre County event.

The second annual Centre County Spring Job Fair will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. on Thursday, April 23, at C3 Sports, 200 Ellis Place, State College. PA CareerLink Centre County and the Chamber of Business & Industry of Centre County are hosting the job fair in partnership with the Borough of State College and Centre County Government,

“In close partnership with PA CareerLink Centre County, we launched the Spring Job Fair in 2025 to make an impact on workforce development and economic growth in our region,” Todd Dolbin, vice president of economic development at the CBICC, said in a statement. “For this year’s event, we’re looking to build on last year’s success, increasing interviews, direct placements, and connections that strengthen Centre County’s skilled workforce.”

Hundreds of job seekers are expected at the event for an opportunity to explore full-time, part-time, seasonal, remote, hybrid, entry-level, and experienced roles. Represented industries will include healthcare, education, government, technology, hospitality, public safety, construction, manufacturing, transportation, social services, financial services, engineering and more.

For employers, the job fair is an opportunity to raise visibility and engage with the Centre County workforce and community, according to the CBICC. Employer tables are available for $75, and can be registered online.

Admission for job seekers is free. Attendees can pre-register here to save time at the door. Individuals planning to attend are encouraged to bring copies of their resume and to dress professionally.

Last year’s inaugural event drew 275 job seekers and resulted in more than 120 interviews and approximately 75 placements, according to the CBICC. Organizers expect this year’s turnout to be even bigger.

“Leveraging the Chamber’s employer network supports our mission of helping job seekers find meaningful work while helping businesses grow their teams with qualified local talent,” Rachael Ulmer, site administrator for PA CareerLink Centre County, said in a statement. “We’re excited to partner with them once again and continue our collaboration in the years to come. We also encourage job seekers to visit us ahead of the event to use our computers, update their resumes, and connect with our expert staff for guidance to help them feel confident and prepared.”
