The Job Fair took place Wednesday, March 30, 2005, in the small gym at TechBoston Academy. It was from about 11:45 to 12:30 to 1:00.

I think the job fair went well for a first time. Companies and organizations who were there included: Franklin Park Zoo, U.S.S. Constitution Museum, Micro Center, Private Industry Council, Citizen Schools, Insurance Company, Agency of Change, Ek Tek and Project Direct. Next year when we set up for another job fair I would like for it to be much bigger. I was hoping for more jobs to show up, like Stop & Shop, Shaws, ABCD, etc.
