UMA hosted its fourth annual Job & Resource Fair on March 24, at the Randall Student Center Fireside Lounge on the Augusta campus. The free public event, held in partnership with Maine CareerCenters, drew student, alumni and community attendees, connecting them with 67 employers from a wide range of in-demand industries across the state.
The fair featured recruiters from 13 different sectors, including healthcare, government, finance, human services and more. With thousands of vacancies in Maine’s care settings and nearly 2,000 open state government roles, the event provided a vital bridge to organizations such as MaineGeneral, Northern Light Health, Camden National Bank, and multiple state and federal agencies.
“This fair is a direct response to our regional and state hiring needs,” said Haley Brown, UMA student services coordinator. “By bringing employers and job seekers together in one place, we help people find new careers while organizations meet critical staffing needs. When that happens, our communities and our economy grow stronger.”
The Job & Resource Fair was presented through a partnership of the UMA Career Connections program and UMS TRANSFORMSPathways to Careers. It’s never too late to reach out to potential employers!
