See events by regionHow it works
From finding an event to your next step
Step 1: Find an event
Search by region, date, or whether it is in person or online. Each event page lists who is coming, the schedule, and how to get there.
Step 2: Register and ask for what you need
Registration takes a few minutes. Ask for an interpreter, captioning, accessible seating, help with transportation or anything else you need to take part.
Step 3: Meet employers and trainers
Visit booths, scan a booth’s QR code to see open jobs and save contacts, and talk with the people doing the hiring.
Step 4: Keep going
After the event, find slides and resources on the event page, tell us how it went, and share your story if something good came of it.
Built so everyone can take part
Access is part of every event
Rural distances, disability, language and schedules should not decide who gets to the job fair.
You can ask for an accommodation when you register or on any event page, and only the people arranging it see the details. Event pages give directions by car, on foot or by public transit, and many events offer an online option. Employers and vendors check their booth pages for accessibility before the event.
