LatPro’s Hispanic & Bilingual Career Fair Comes to Washington, DC

LatPro’s Diversity Job Fair Series comes to DC’s Trinity Center at Trinity College on September 24 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

WASHINGTON, DC – August 25, 2009 – Diversity job board LatPro (www.LatPro.com), in conjunction with The National Society for Hispanic Professionals (www.NSHP.org), will once again bring its job fair series to Washington, DC, connecting multicultural jobseekers with companies seeking bilingual and bicultural professional candidates.

“The Spring 2009 Washington, DC job fair was a largely successful event,” said Ricardo Villalba, Events Manager for NSHP. “More than 20 individuals were hired on the spot at our DC fair in May, and we hope to have similar successes again in September.”

Response from employers and jobseekers has been so positive that LatPro documented testimonials in a video filmed at the DC event designed to prepare future participants for the exciting day that they can expect at a LatPro/NSHP career fair.
