FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – A career fair has been scheduled for workers finishing up their fifth year in the PROMISE program.

Employers from across the state will gather Thursday, May 10, at the Marriott of Little Rock to speak with PROMISE employees and accept job applications.

PROMISE is a research program that was started in 2013 and funded by a $35.7 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education.

The employees about to enter the workforce have multiple years of experience working with youth with disabilities and their families.

Employers seeking more information about the career fair can contact Kristin Thompson at 501-623-7700 or by e-mail at kthompson@uacurrents.org
