“On behalf of all the mayors in the Quad-Cities, we are honored to support our young adults in our community,” Bettendorf Mayor Bob Gallagher said. “This event promotes our future workforce and helps connect people to the resources needed to find a job.”

“No matter what side of the river you live on, we have employment opportunities in the Illinois and Iowa Quad-Cities,” East Moline Mayor Reggie Freeman said. “This event helps those kids in high school, early college or those just looking to work here in the Quad Cities. We come together as one community to help all of our young job seekers.”

Over 50 companies are hiring for part-time, full-time, summer and seasonal positions. Interviews and offers of employment are possible at the fair. Hundreds of students from school districts across the QCA are expected at the event and members of the public who are looking for work are invited to attend.
