A Rochester company that offers training for environmental workers and a national labor firm are joining forces to recruit workers at a job fair this week for more than 100 positions in the environmental and general construction fields.

The fair is scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and may continue for part of Friday at the Staybridge Suites Hotel, 1000 Genesee Street. The fair is aimed at locating workers for contracts in the Rochester, Syracuse, Buffalo and Corning areas. M&V Labor Resources has arranged the contracts and Cornerstore Training Institute provides training for the specialized positions, offering a discount to workers recruited through the job fair. The work of removing asbestos and lead, for instance, requires special certifications.

“Although the unemployment rate is high in Rochester, it’s hard to find good qualified workers due to their lack of training,” said Jesus Mendez, president of M&V Labor Resources. Based in Orlando, the company also has an office on Humbolt Street in Rochester and has worked on a number of projects at Eastman Kodak and Syracuse University.
