Rochester Americans News Release


Rochester, NY- The Rochester Americans announced today that the team has partnered with the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce, Hire Me Rochester 13 WHAM/Fox Rochester and Rochester-CW to once again host a Downtown Career Fair on Friday, Nov. 18 at The Blue Cross Arena from 12 noon to 3:00 p.m. The Downtown Career Fair is an opportunity for local job seekers to connect with Rochester-area businesses that are currently hiring. The event will be followed by a 7:05 p.m. game between the Amerks and St. John's IceCaps.

"The Rochester Chamber and our RBA Staffing division are pleased to once again team up with the Rochester Americans for the Downtown Career Fair," said Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Bob Duffy. "As I visit Rochester Chamber members across the nine-county Finger Lakes region that we serve, a common theme that I hear is the difficulty that employers have in finding talent. There is not a lack of jobs, but a lack of qualified workers ready and willing to fill them. The Downtown Career Fair gives both employers and job seekers a one-stop experience to connect and make mutually beneficial matches."

Businesses can reserve their spot at the Downtown Career Fair for $300 ($150 for 501c-3 non-profit organizations) by visiting www.amerks.com/careerfair. The cost includes one table, two free parking spots for the day in the Civic Center Garage, 20 tickets to the Amerks game to follow and complimentary refreshments and snacks. Greater Rochester Chamber members can purchase their booth space for $250.

Job seeker registration for the event is free and includes one ticket voucher to the Amerks game that night and the opportunity to network with growing companies that have immediate job openings. Job seekers must register in advance to attend the free event by visiting www.amerks.com/jobseeker.

"We're excited to bring back the Downtown Career Fair for the third straight year," said Amerks Vice President of Business Operations Rob Kopacz. "Since its inception, the Career Fair has welcomed over 2,000 job seekers and has averaged 60 local businesses at each event and it continues to grow each year. The Downtown Career Fair is a perfect opportunity for individuals looking to enter the workforce or those who wish to expand their careers. The Amerks are proud to partner with the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce, Hire Me Rochester, 13 WHAM/Fox Rochester and the Rochester-CW for our next Career Fair as we look to build on past year's success."

Rochester's next home game is on Friday, Oct. 21 as the Amerks host the first visit of the season from the Toronto Marlies. Individual game tickets for the 2016-17 season start at just $12.
