Activity Details
Title: Job and Career Resource Fairs
Narrative: In-person and virtual job fairs connected interested participants with potential employers while resource fairs offered resources available at both local libraries and workforce agencies. Some of the fairs offered interview practice/mock interviews, resume review, and application assistance. Others featured library and workforce resources, demonstrating online resources and tools.
One Career Exploration Workshop focused on activities for families. While adults could explore online tools for career opportunities and job-related technology resources and information on local in-demand industries and occupations, younger family members were introduced to skills that can lead to career success and job satisfaction. Most fairs appealed to adult job seekers, but some targeted young adults just entering the workforce or people in low-income areas with high rates of unemployment.
County departments, nonprofits, colleges, job corps, apprenticeship and vocational training programs as well as foster care and homeless support organizations helped reach out to the job seeking community at the resource fairs.
Intent: Improve the library workforce.
