“Our bus drivers play a critical role at Union, as they are often the first face of the district that students see in the morning and the last one at night,” said Rob Harris, director of Transportation at Union. “Time and time again, we hear from our students about bus drivers who have been a positive influence in their lives. Many of them motivate and cheer on our kids, so it’s a fun and rewarding job.”

The employment fair will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the UMAC. The event is open to the public. There is no cost to attend.
