Several workforce development agencies will be hosting a Yuma Community Job & Education Fair on Wednesday, Oct. 2. Community members are invited to come out and learn about what employment opportunities and resources are available locally.
The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Yuma Civic Center, 1440 W. Desert Hills Dr.
Achieve Human Services and partnering agencies will also simultaneously host their 9th Annual DREAM (Disability and Rehabilitation Employee Awareness Month) Job Fair for people with disabilities. This is the sixth time that the DREAM Job Fair will be held in conjunction with the Job & Education Fair to help meet the needs of both employers and job seekers in the community.
There will be a Resource Center with computers available on site for job seekers to use to complete their applications as many hiring agencies require them to be submitted online. In addition, space will be provided for employers to conduct interviews at the job fair.
Employment Readiness Workshops will also be held in both English and Spanish during the job fair. Job seekers are encouraged to attend to become more prepared to meet with employers.
Those wishing to attend the Job & Education Fair can pre-register at http://bit.ly/JobandEdFair2019 through 5 p.m. on October 1. Job seekers that are pre-registered will be able to use the express line for quicker access to the event.
