ERLANGER, Ky. (AP) - More than 80 employers are expected to attend a job fair in northern Kentucky that is geared toward veterans but will be open to the public.

Ken Wocher, the northern Kentucky veterans' employment representative with the Kentucky Office of Employment and Training, told The Kentucky Enquirer that there will be "companies from across the board" in attendance. The fair will be held at Receptions Conference and Banquet Center in Erlanger on Nov. 12. Last year, it drew 800 job seekers.

Some employers expected to attend include U.S. Playing Cards, Colonial Life Insurance, Elite Welding Academy and Coldwell Banker.

The fair is sponsored by the Northern Kentucky Tri-County Economic Development Corp. and One Stop Northern Kentucky.
