Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe announced today that a job fair will be a part of this year’s South Whittier Educate & Celebrate Festival. The third annual festival will be held at Adventure Park on August 15, 2009, from 10:00 a.m to 3:00 p.m.

With unemployment levels on the rise, Supervisor Knabe asked the Southeast Area Social Services Funding Authority (SASSFA) to organize a job fair at the popular community festival.

Some of the employers that have confirmed participation in the job fair include: Target, T.J. Maxx, Chase, Cartridge World, the Whittier Police Department, the LA County Department of Human Resources, and LA County Sheriff’s Department.

For more information on the job fair, please contact Arthur Monreal at SASSFA at (562) 946-2237 x259 or amonreal@sassfa.org

Adventure County Park is located at 10130 Gunn Avenue in Whittier.
