Job seekers have an opportunity to find new employment and explore career paths at the upcoming West Maui Job Fair hosted by Pacific Media Group. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 22, 2017 at the Outlets of Maui in Lahaina.

Event organizers say the job fair is an excellent opportunity for recent graduates looking for a job and for others in the general community that are looking to advance or to get on the job training. Employers are seeking full-time, part-time and summer employees.

Employers featured at the event include hotels, supermarkets, retail and financial institutions, as well as a variety of other island businesses.

This is the 18th year that PMG has been hosting Job Fairs, and its the 5th year of hosting a West Side job fair.
