The showcase will feature more than 50 area employers from diverse industries such as construction, manufacturing, energy, finance, banking, technology and more.

A collaborative effort, the Saratoga Job Showcase is presented by Empire State University, the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce, the Veterans Business Council, Empire State University Veterans and Military Resource Center, New York State Department of Labor, Saratoga Economic Development Corporation, Saratoga County Workforce Development, Naval Support Facility – Saratoga Springs and The Fleet and Family Support Center.
“We are gathering dozens of the region’s top employers for the Saratoga Job Showcase and we invite the community to attend and explore the many opportunities available in our local job market," said Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce president Todd Shimkus. "This is a can’t-miss event for anyone looking to elevate their career.”
The morning will also include a special opportunity for the veteran and military community with a 9 a.m. Veteran & Military Meet and Greet networking reception prior to the event. Featuring coffee, snacks and connections, this complimentary networking hour is open to all veterans, active-duty military members and those who serve or support veterans.
“SUNY Empire is proud to honor our veterans and military members with a dedicated networking session before the Saratoga Job Showcase. This dedicated time is our way of honoring their service—providing them with meaningful opportunities to connect, share their experiences, and explore career possibilities with local employers,” said Anita DeCianni-Brown, director of Career & Experiential Learning Services at Empire State University.
