Johns Hopkins University Program Pushing For Diversity And Job Equality In Baltimore
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Johns Hopkins University's program called Hopkins Local hosted a job fair Wednesday morning.
The program pledges to push for diversity and job equality in Baltimore.
"We are committing to diversity being a cornerstone of this work to supporting small businesses," Alicia Wilson, of Johns Hopkins University, said.
The program has created nearly 1,500 jobs for city residents and over $100 million for local vendors.
The event was Iris Aikins-Afful's first job fair.
"I've never got something like this before," she said. "So I guess networking and getting more information in general."
Her dream is to do something in science.
"I've always had a passion for it," she said. "I love discovery and learning how things work and develop."
