Illinois workNet and Madison County Employment and Training will sponsor workshops covering social media, Illinois JobLink and using smartphone apps for job searching.

"Technology is being utilized to the fullest this year," Bunjan said. "We are aware that a large part of the job market has gone digital, and L&C is offering job seekers the option to use those tools to optimize their searches."

Some of this year's participating employers include Cope Plastics, Auffenburg Dealer Group, Challenge Unlimited, Farmer's Insurance, Federal Bureau of Prisons, Express Employment Professionals, Photogenic Inc., Illinois Department of Corrections, Thirty-One, Department of Veteran's Affairs, Touchstone Crystal and Tastefully Simple.
