Rochester Americans News Release


(Rochester, NY)... The Rochester Americans announced that the team has partnered with Rochester Business Alliance, Democrat and Chronicle and CareerBuilder to host a Downtown Career Fair on Friday, Nov. 20 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 Bridgeport Sound Tigers.

"Rochester Business Alliance, the chamber of commerce serving the nine-county Finger Lakes region, is pleased to team up with the Rochester Americans, the Democrat and Chronicle, and CareerBuilder for the Downtown Career Fair," said Rochester Business Alliance President and CEO Bob Duffy. "In recent visits with RBA members, I have seen many job openings go unfilled because of a lack of skilled, qualified candidates. This career fair gives both employers and job seekers a convenient chance 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.

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 launched our Career Fair initiative last season to connect local businesses and job seekers as part of our ongoing efforts to be good corporate citizens here in Rochester," said Amerks Vice President of Business Operations Rob Kopacz. "In two events last year, we welcomed over 1,000 job seekers with about 50 businesses present at each Fair. The Amerks are proud to partner with Rochester Business Alliance, Democrat & Chronicle and Career Builder for our next Career Fair as we look to build on last year's success."

The Amerks' next home game is Friday, Oct. 23 at 7:05 p.m. versus the Toronto Marlies. Individual Game Tickets start at just $12. Amerks 2015-16 Season Ticket Memberships, which start as low as just $8 per game, are still available.
