PHEAA to Host Two-Day Job Fair in April

HARRISBURG – The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) will hold a two-day job fair at its headquarters building at 1200 North 7th Street in Harrisburg, according to Senator Richard Alloway II (R-33).

PHEAA has approximately 150 immediate full-time and summer position openings in its customer service and collection call centers at its Harrisburg and Mechanicsburg locations. These positions are entry-level wage positions paying $11 per hour and will include full training.

Interested candidates are welcome on:

• Wednesday, April 28, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
• Thursday, April 29, from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

"The recession has made it much harder for Central Pennsylvania residents to find jobs," Alloway said. "PHEAA is one of the largest employers in the region, and this job fair offers job-seekers an opportunity to learn more about employment options that are available."

Applicants are required to complete an application for employment prior to the job fair in order to be considered for employment. The employment application and detailed job descriptions are available online at www.PHEAA.org/jobs.
