FT. LAUDERDALE, FL – January 13, 2009 – Diversity job board LatPro (www.LatPro.com), in partnership with the National Society for Hispanic Professionals (www.NSHP.org), will launch its 2009 diversity career fair series with a multicultural event in Houston, Texas. The event will be held at the Westin Galleria on Thursday, February 19, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Designed for multicultural jobseekers, the fair provides a unique opportunity for diversity-conscious employers to meet with professional candidates who have keen language and multicultural skills. The February fair will kick off LatPro’s 2009 season of nine diversity career fairs which will be held across the United States for Hispanic and bilingual professionals.
LatPro decided to return to Houston after a highly successful Houston career fair in 2008 which boasted more than 40 exhibitors and nearly 600 jobseekers.
“When setting the 2009 job fair calendar, we knew that we again wanted to launch our annual tour in Houston because of our history of successful events in that city,” said Ricardo Villalba, events manager for NSHP. “The caliber of jobseekers is exceptional, and there are many diversity-conscious employers in the Houston area who are looking to meet qualified Hispanic and bilingual professionals.”
Jobseekers attending the 2009 Houston Diversity Career Fair will have the opportunity to network with fellow Hispanic professionals and local chapters of Latino organizations, in addition to meeting representatives from employers such as BP, The US Census Bureau, Rochester City School District, Kroger, and many more.
