Earlier this year, I had an idea to create an Agency Subcontractor Job Fair that would connect Online Service based Agency Owners with subcontractors. After selling out the first one, we made the next one a 2 day event and nearly sold that out too! This morning, I opened registration for our January 22nd job fair to the waitlist and, within the first few hours, we’ve sold 10% of the subcontractor spots! ?? It’s clearly a win/win for agency owners and subcontractors! The speed networking aspect of it allows for quick connection and bypasses some of the early steps most agency owners have to take in order to find quality hires! What questions can I answer for you about this event?

Welding is typically a male-dominated industry, with women making up just 5.3% of the industry. However, the Francis Tuttle Reno welding program has a record 36 female students (or 25%!)

The Westchester County Advisory Council for People with Disabilities held its 5th Diverse Abilities Job Fair in October 2024 at the Westchester County Center. The event hosted more than 300 job seekers and 60 businesses and resource providers. Job seekers received one-on-one screening interviews and attended a resume clinic presented by Jawonio, with Westchester Putnam Career Center staff providing resume feedback. Prior to each job fair, business partners attend educational sessions to learn about the advantages of recruiting from the disabled community, as well as retention and success strategies.

Employers can all agree, it is fairly easy to know when even the best candidates appears unprepared for an interview, that's why it's best to do everything you can to be on your 'A' game. To help ensure you are prepared, prior to the Diverse Abilities Job Fair we'll be hosting a Zoom meeting that touches on what you can expect at the fair, what you should know before you attend, and how you should prepare to make the most out of this opportunity. Also, learn what makes this job fair different, what types of accommodations will be provided, and how you can set up one-on-one meetings! Sometimes being prepared is the missing ingredient that a candidate needs to feel comfortable at a job fair. Your level of preparedness can also help you to stand out from the rest of the competition! To register for the Zoom meeting, please visit rb.gy/ut6m0g. We hope to see you there on April 16th!

Hey HR Reps and Recruiters: If there is a job fair in the community that you recruit from, do you ask current employees if they want to attend and help? If they do not want any part of it, they probably think the place they work at is toxic, and are just in for the money. Why aren't your veterans recommending your place to work at? Why not ask them, and listen to their answers? Can minor adjustments make the place someone would join and want to spend 30 years at?

Yesterday, more than 2k students from Conestoga College, University of Waterloo, University of Waterloo, and University of Guelph; and over 100 participating organizations came for the Partnerships for Employment Job Fair! Huge shoutout to the committee, especially Kriskyn Cabrera, Alice Michaud and Melissa McNown-Smith —you guys are rockstars! It was also nice to meet and chat with other universities! After speaking with some employers, one key takeaway for students attending job fairs is the importance of research. Before approaching a company, take the time to learn about them. This not only helps you stand out but also shows your enthusiasm and preparedness. Avoid generic questions like, “What do you do?” or “What jobs do you have?”—these can leave a negative impression. Instead, ask specific, informed questions that demonstrate your genuine interest in the company and the opportunities they offer.
