Hundreds of employees attended a career development and training expo on June 26. The Office of the Director's Equal Employment Opportunity advisory committee organized the event to provide employees with information on programs offered within the NIH community. The event gave employees an opportunity to meet with representatives of these programs and receive advice and handouts.
