JOBSapalooza Ready to Hit Buffalo

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- JOBSapalooza, the largest job and internship fair in Western New York, will be held 4-7 p.m. on Jan. 6 in the Buffalo Convention Center. The annual event is free and open to the public.

The event will feature opportunities in various career fields in the Buffalo Niagara region. Job seeker workshops will be held from 2-4 p.m.

"Now in its 11th year, JOBSapalooza has proven to be the most effective means of stemming the brain drain from Western New York, by connecting college students who live or attend school in the area with employers offering full time positions," said Dan Ryan, one of JOBSapalooza's organizers, and director of off-campus student relations at University at Buffalo.

"This year, teaming up with BuffaloInterns.com, we will be taking the event to the next level, by helping to make similar connections for internships in the region."
