Better Together is partnering with the Light WPB to host a community job fair from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 14 in West Palm Beach.
Registration is now open for hiring employers and job seekers to participate in the September event. Church-based job fairs not only connect job seekers with local employers who are ready to hire, but also provide resources to facilitate stronger connections and more hires.
Free one-on-one job coaching sessions are available to job seekers to review résumés and interviewing skills, and additional services will be available onsite.
The community job fair is part of Better Together’s “Better Jobs” program, which has helped 45,000 applicants connect with employment opportunities across 24 states. At job fairs hosted by Better Together, two-thirds of attendees get a job interview, and one in four receive a job offer on the spot. Some 70 percent find work within six weeks.
The Sept. 14 job fair will take place at First Evangelical Lutheran Church, located at 2740 Parker Ave. in West Palm Beach. Job seekers and employers can register at https://bettertogetherus.org/events/west-palm-beach-fl-community-job-fair-hosted-by-the-light-wpb, or by texting “JOBS” to (844) 987-3949.
