SHELTON - Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce President William Purcell said today a special job fair was held Wednesday at Altice USA (formerly Cablevision).
He said the fair was "a great success." The event featured 24 participating companies and several hundred candidates attended.
Purcell said Altice USA, the new owners of Cablevision and its Optimum Service, announced in August they will be closing their Customer Support and Back Office Operations in Shelton and Stratford.
The closure of these two facilities is expected to impact as many as 600 associates, according to media reports.
In an effort to assimilate these impacted employees into the local economy, Purcell said the Chamber was pleased to join with Cablevision, the Connecticut Department of Labor and The WorkPlace, Inc. in hosting a job fair exclusively for these employees.
Participating companies included Barnum Financial, Basement Systems, 3PL Worldwide, Sikorsky, A Lockheed Martin Company, Webster Bank, Curtiss Ryan Honda, Peralta Design, Sikorsky Credit Union, Housatonic Community College, Griffin Hospital, Post University, The WorkPlace, Inc. and the Connecticut Department of Labor, and more.
