(October 4, 2018, York, Pa.) — In one week’s time, hundreds of people will fill the concourse of PeoplesBank Park, ready to “score” a great new career or find their company’s newest employees.
The second annual York Career Fair, hosted by SportsRadio 1350 WOYK and the York County Economic Alliance (YCEA), will be held at the home of the York Revolution next Thursday, October 11, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

They range from staffing companies, package and delivery organizations, and nursing and rehabilitation corporations to financial service companies, food and beverage corporations, equipment providers, and many employers in between. Employers hiring individuals with criminal history will also attend.
Free parking for career seekers will be available in the Queen Street parking lot behind the ballpark.
PeoplesBank Park is located at 5 Brooks Robinson Way in downtown York and accessible by Rabbit Transit Route 2 and Route 6.
