EMPLOYERS

Employers interested in exhibiting for no-cost at a CareerCenter hiring event should contact the Employer Services Representative at your local CareerCenter. Federal requirements state that employers must have their jobs listed with the Maine JobLink - https://joblink.maine.gov/employer

Third-party hiring events where the CareerCenter is a sponsor and not the host may require a fee to exhibit. We encourage you to connect with the coordinator of the event for questions.
