Job seekers will also have the opportunity to meet with disability service providers to learn about additional employment supports, “This will be a wonderful opportunity for jobseekers and employers alike to connect with service providers throughout the Utica-Rome area. We are thrilled to be hosting this event at Mohawk Valley Community College’s Rome Campus,” says Workforce Development Board Special Projects Director Mary Katherine A. Moylan.
