A job fair in Middletown this week is aimed at helping local businesses fill vacant positions by solving the transportation problem for potential workers and employers.

The Butler County Transit Link Job Fair is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday at Cincinnati State, 1 N. Main St., Middletown.

The job fair will focus on jobs accessible by public transit throughout the county and the Butler County Regional Transit Authority will offer free fixed route bus rides.

 

BCRTA will be at the job fair “primarily in a capacity to help teach people how to ride the bus and read schedules to plan trips to potential jobs,” according to Matt Dutkevicz, the transit authority’s executive director.

Raffles for a 3-, 6- and 12-month transit pass will be held.

Companies with booths at the job fair will include BCRTA, Community First Solutions, Gabe’s, Tyson, Thyssenkrup Bilstein, Tri-County Care Center, DeCoach Rehabiltation Centre, OhioMeansJobs-Butler County and Cincinnati State Middletown Campus.
