With more than 30 top-ranked colleges and universities within a four-hour drive of Northern Virginia and more than 50,000 current job opportunities in the region, the FCEDA is creating virtual career fairs to serve as a bridge between open positions and job-seekers.
“As a result of Covid-19, this is not the same job market that this year’s graduates envisioned entering even a few months ago, and that is why we’re working with corporate and academic partners on these virtual career fairs to get grads and students in contact with companies in our region that are hiring,” said Victor Hoskins, president and CEO of the FCEDA. “Because of our innovative and creative companies and our economic base that emphasizes professional and technical services, Northern Virginia is still a great place to land your first job. It’s a place where you can pursue a successful, high-paying position and see your way forward for an amazing career.”
