YOUNGSTOWN - Job seekers in the Mahoning Valley have an opportunity this afternoon to connect with local employers. The Organización Cívica y Cultural Hispana Americana (OCCHA) is hosting a community job fair today.

The event runs from noon to 4 p.m. at OCCHA's offices, located at 3660 Shirley Road. It is free and open to the public, and individuals with various experience levels are welcome. Those attending are encouraged to bring their resumes to help with direct interactions with employers.

"Don't miss this opportunity to take the next step in your career," stated promotional materials for the fair. These materials were circulated in both English and Spanish to inform the community.

OCCHA, an organization in the multicultural community, works to improve the quality of life for Hispanics and others by offering a range of services, including social, economic, cultural, and educational programs, as well as food assistance, employment, and translation services.
