“The fair attracts hundreds of older workers who have a tremendous amount of talent and work experience to offer to employers,” said Mary McDougall, president of Operation ABLE, the organizer of the event. 

“Employers see this unique event as an opportunity to tap into the mature labor pool to meet their needs for dependable workers with a very strong work ethic,” noted McDougall. 

 “Exhibitors have told us repeatedly that this is one of the best fairs available, and are impressed with the quantity, quality, and diversity of the candidates they meet,” she added.

“Many of the people who will be attending the fair are considering a new career or need to update their job skills for today's job market,” said McDougall  “With this in mind, educational institutions such as community colleges and universities are also exhibiting and taking advantage of this opportunity to meet potential students.”
