Several companies in Central PA are keeping Dr. King's vision alive by providing job opportunities for everyone.
And one of those companies is Aerotek, a recruiting and staffing agency with eight offices throughout South Central Pennsylvania.
John Rudy, Northeast Regional Vice President says the Career Fair is a perfect time to reflect on Doctor Martin Luther King, Junior's vision of economic equality.
Rudy says, "job creation embodies Dr. King's vision about opportunity and economic empowerment. We believe that everybody deserves an equal opportunity. And what a great forum to connect the best talent with the right job for them."
Aerotek is 1 of 20 corporations participating in the access and opportunity career fair. So why focus on them in this report? After talking to John Rudy, I've learned he "walks the walk" when it comes to diversity and inclusion."
Rudy says, "we are striving to become a leader in building a diversity and inclusive workforce. Getting skilled talent, with different backgrounds and with different perspectives is critical in succeeding in today's ever changing and multi-cultural environment."
Here are the other companies slated to be at the career fair - companies that organizer Vera Cornish says realize the world is changing.
* Aerotek
* Milton Hershey School
* Pinnacle Health System
* US Air Force Recruiting
* Hollywood Casino
* Berks & Beyond
* Giant Food Stores LLC
* Hershey Entertainment & Resorts
* Highmark Blue Shield
* Penn State Hershey Medical Center
* Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency
* Prime Care Medical Inc.
* The SYGMA Network
* Capital Region Ex-Offenders
* PHEAA
* EXEL
* Nationwide Insurance
* Hilton Harrisburg
Cornish says, "and if you want to be abreast of the changing trends in business, then you need a cross section of people with different perspectives, different talents, different skills so that as a corporation, you get a return on investment."
Cornish adds that the targeted participant is someone who has been unemployed for more than 6 months and is looking for a career.
And by the way, Aerotek is also hiring recruiters internally.
And for outside businesses they staff, they're looking for light industrial, manufacturing, administration support, construction management and engineering and scientific professionals.
The MLK Access & Opportunity Career Fair is Monday, January 21, 2013 from 10am to 3pm at the Hilton Harrisburg on North 2nd Street.
