The 6th annual Northland Job Fair will feature more than 90 employers from northern Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin having current and future job opportunities. The Northland Job Fair will be held Wed., April 1, at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center in Duluth.

UI works closely with WorkForce Centers to send email notifications to applicants of job fairs or events for veterans in their communities. Last year email notifications of 13 such events were sent out to about 40,000 applicants. |
