The fifth annual Agriculture, Energy and Processing Job Fair is set for March 7 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the SAGE Center, 101 Olson Road in Boardman.
The event is open to the public, giving attendees a chance to visit with area food processors, utilities, farms, local government agencies, data centers and educational institutions about careers, education and job-seeking help.
