As part of his continuing effort to help his constituents find employment, State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. has partnered with the Central Queens Y and Samuel Field Y, as well as City Comptroller Scott Stringer’s office to bring a job fair to Forest Hills this June.

On Friday, June 8, more than 25 companies will be on hand at the Central Queens Y, located at 67-09 108^th Street in Forest Hills, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. to collect résumés and interview potential candidates for several different positions.

“The job fair is a great opportunity for us to work with local businesses and invite the Queens community to take advantage of our growing and thriving workforce program,” said Danielle Ellman, CEO of the Central Queens Y and Samuel Field Y. “We're really grateful to have the support of our State Senator and City Comptroller in this effort, and we look forward to the opportunities that this event will produce for our community.”
