Aguilar Announces Inland Empire Jobs Fair for San Bernardino County Residents

Press Release

Today, Rep. Pete Aguilar announced that he will host an Inland Empire Jobs Fair on Friday, July 22nd from 9:00AM to 12:00PM at the Frank Gonzales Community Center in Colton. The jobs fair will connect job seekers with Inland Empire employers looking to hire. This is Rep. Aguilar's second jobs fair. Last year he hosted a similar event that helped over forty residents find work in the community.

"Putting residents back to work is my top priority," said Rep. Aguilar. He continued, "When I took office, I promised residents that I would work to get the Inland Empire economy back on track. To do this, we need to explore every opportunity. That means hosting jobs fairs, enacting smart legislation to support small businesses and investing in job training programs. I'm glad I can serve the community with this event and I look forward to continuing these kinds of projects in the future."

In his first term in office, Rep. Aguilar introduced legislation to support small businesses and encourage local job creation, established a Small Business Advisory Board, convened multiple jobs roundtables with local employers, hosted a community forum with United States Small Business Administrator Maria Contreras-Sweet and released a comprehensive Jobs Plan -- his strategy for kick-starting the Inland Empire economy.
