Representatives from top local and national companies will be on hand to discuss opportunities in industries at Tuesday’s Greater Des Moines Career Fair.

The Career Fair will be held on Tuesday, September 23, at the University Park Holiday Inn, 1800 50th Street in Des Moines, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.
