The special website, http://www.alliancevirtualjobfair.com , can be accessed
after the kick-off of the Virtual Job Fair at 12 noon, February 16th and
remains open through 11:59 p.m., February 29th.

Job seekers who do not have ready access to a personal computer to
attend the Virtual Job Fair are welcome to visit one of the three Workforce
Alliance Career Centers for use of a computer at no cost. They are located
in Boynton Beach, Belle Glade and West Palm Beach and, besides computers,
have printers, faxes and phones for the use of job seekers.
