MidHudson News is reporting Columbia-Greene Workforce New York will hold a multi-resort hospitality job fair at the Blackthorne Resort in East Durham, 1 to 3 p.m., May 2. The purpose of the fair is to fill the jobs that will be available this season. Resorts will be looking to fill full-time, part-time, seasonal and other employment positions for candidates aged 14 and older. Applicants are encouraged to bring resumes, be ready to complete applications and conduct interviews at the fair. “As businesses begin to resume regular activities as more of the population is vaccinated and travel increases, there is a need for additional employees for tourism-related businesses,” said Deputy County Administrator Warren Hart. Hart noted the Zoom Flume Water Park in Durham, was closed for the 2020 season due to COVID-19 and as a result, its entire workforce and revenue for the year was lost. Zoom Flume is starting over with new employees for 2021. “With high unemployment rates and businesses in need of workers, the workforce office looks forward to connecting Greene County employers and workers safely and conveniently,” said Chris Nardone, director of Columbia-Greene Workforce New York. Masks and social distancing will be required. More information about the fair is available by calling 518-719-3290 or writing to kheck [at] discovergreene [dot] com.
