Career Center Provides Speaker to Highlight Available Jobs in the Government Workforce


The Career Center is providing guest speaker Julie Saad, federal human resources specialist, to the UMaine community to talk about government related jobs. Within the next seven years it is estimated that 2 million federal workers will be leaving their jobs to pursue other careers and Saad is providing he opportunity for students to be knowledgeable of these opportunities before we run into a shortage.



Sherry Treworgy, associate director of the UMaine Career Center, says, "I think the program is going to be even more important to students this year with the challenging economic climate. The federal government remains the largest employer in the U.S. and they are still trying to attract graduating college students in a multitude of career fields. In spite of rising unemployment, the federal government does have good jobs and internships."


Julie Saad is scheduled to speak at 3:30 p.m. in Minsky Recital Hall, Class of 1944 Hall and the event is free to the public to attend.
