Attendees will have a chance to meet with representatives of potential employers from 1 to 4 p.m. Wednesday at the Monroe County Convention Center at 302 S. College Ave. in Bloomington.
Around 20 local and technology-related companies will be represented at the fair.
A BTP press release stated the fair is aimed at those searching for full-time or part-time careers or internships.
The fair will be free and open to the public.
“2015 has been a big year for local technology companies in terms of job growth,” BTP Director Katie Birges said in a press release. “This fair allows job seekers locally and from out of town to meet with many of our local tech companies all in one location.”
The fair is not the only way in which the nonprofit organization strives to connect people with jobs in the Bloomington area.
Since January, BTP has posted more than 225 new positions from local tech employers on its online job board.
Along with these job openings, the organization’s website, bloomingtontech.com, also provides information on many of the city’s technology-related companies, technology news and the Bloomington Code School.
The code school, which was launched in June 2014, is the organization’s workforce development program that teaches residents in Monroe County how to code at no cost.
BTP is a public-private initiative funded by the Bloomington Economic Development Corporation, the City of Bloomington, IU’s Innovate Indiana and IU’s Office for Engagement.
“The Bloomington Technology Partnership fosters the growth of Bloomington’s emerging high-tech economy,” the release reads. “The BTP strengthens Bloomington’s tech economy through talent recruitment, networking opportunities and technical assistance.”
