Nearly 100 government and private sector employers have signed up for a job fair this week in Bluefield.

The fair runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday at Bluefield State College. The event is free.

The Office of Personnel Management, a federal agency that oversees the hiring process for federal jobs, will be on site to give a one-hour seminar on finding and applying for federal jobs.

U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin’s office said he is co-hosting the event with WVVA and Bluefield State College and will give remarks during the fair Wednesday morning. It is one of 12 hiring or resource fairs Manchin is co-hosting across the state this year.
