Up to 10,000 job seekers, hiring executives and Hispanic business leaders are expected to attend the 2006 Hispanic Business Expo and Job Fair on Jan. 25 and 26 at the Tampa Convention Center.

Among employers at the job fair's Village Career Center will be WCI Communities, University Community Hospital and HSBC Bank.

"There is so much opportunity in the marketplace right now, and our employers are telling us that diversity and bilingual Spanish skills are very important for them today," said Pam Kauten, president of PEAK Connections. PEAK is the parent company of Florida CareerLINK, a sponsor of the career center.

The job fair is being hosted by The Tampa Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. For information, visit www.TampaHispanicChamber.com or call 813 414-9411.
