CHICAGO- State Rep. Luis Arroyo (D-Chicago) announced on Thursday that he will be host a Constituent Services and Job Fair on Saturday, April to put job-seekers in touch with hiring employers and to connect residents with helpful services.

Industrial Staffing will be on-site accepting resumes.  All interested applicants should bring copies of a current resume.

 

Additionally, representatives from Commonwealth Edison, the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services and the Illinois Department of Human Services will be available with a variety of information regarding electric rates, healthcare and energy assistance, employment training, and child care.

 

“I want my constituents to know that there are programs to assist with electric bills, child care and health needs,” Arroyo said.  “It is my job to provide my constituents with as much information about programs that can make life easier.”
