“The WTIA is delighted to partner with TechFetch to bring this technology job fair to the Pacific Northwest,” said Susan Sigl, CEO of the Washington Technology Industry Association. “Workforce development initiatives are a priority for the WTIA, and this collaborative effort with TechFetch is a wonderful opportunity to help our tech community prosper by connecting great tech companies with much-needed tech talent.”

Highlights of the job fair will include speakers from many of the top Washington state companies for technology and hiring/staffing, including Vertafore, Inrix, and Protingent amongst others. Other available resources include resume help, wardrobe consulting, career coaching professionals, and continuing education and training partners.
