Grand Circus, an IT training institute in downtown Detroit, is hosting a job fair Thursday called the Detroit Tech Industry Career Fair.

Free and open to the public from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 1570 Woodward Ave., the fair will include more than 20 companies looking to fill vacancies, including Southfield-based HelloWorld, Detroit-based Quicken Loans Inc., Troy-based ESG Automotive Inc. and California-based Barracuda Networks.

For some companies, experience isn't necessary as they are looking for interns and apprentices they can train. Those with no IT experience can also find out about the broad range of classes offered by Grand Circus.

It is estimated that by 2020, there will be about 1 million unfilled computer-programming jobs available in the U.S.

Registration is required here.
