Wake Forest Job Fest will take place at the Wake County Northern Regional Center from 12 to 4 p.mm on Friday, May 20. The event is a partnership between Capital Area Workforce Development (CAWD), Northeast Community Coalition, Dress for Success, and StepUp Ministry.
Wake Forest Job Fest will feature several organizations that provide services and resources to help individuals with upward mobility. This includes employment as well as health and welfare services.
“The purpose of Job Fest is to bring resources to the people. If we can increase employment and personal incomes, we can improve conditions in the community. It is an opportunity for adults, youth and young adults to learn about job training programs, scholarships to cover tuition and fees, apprenticeship programs, and available jobs. Resources geared to help people overcome barriers that hinder their ability to find and keep a job are another valuable part of this event,” said Pat Sturdivant, Executive Director at CAWD.
Participating vendors include NCWorks Career Centers, Southlight Healthcare, Wake Tech, Legal Aid of North Carolina, Eckerd Connects, Wake Local Reentry Council and others.
Attendees can also discuss career options with local employers that are hiring including Wegman’s, Admiral Security Services, NC State University, Admiral Security Services, and Go Triangle.
Wake Forest Job Fest is free and open to the public. Tickets are not required but registration is encouraged.
