The 28th Valley-Wide Employment Expo, aiming to connect job seekers and local businesses, will be Wednesday at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino. It will be from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Special Events Center of the casino located at 84245 Indio Springs Parkway. Attendees are encouraged to bring copies of their resumes and register in advance, although walk-ins will be welcome.

Free workshops will be held next week in advance of the 28th Valley-Wide Employment Expo, set to be held later this month, to help job seekers prepare for the fair.
