Interview with 15+ companies with thousands of positions & browse programs that will help you reskill and upgrade your career.
Whether you’ve been displaced due to the COVID-19 crisis, want to change career paths, or are simply looking for a fresh start, the Hiring + Reskilling Virtual Career Fair will be a one-stop shop to interview with hiring companies and browse reskilling opportunities to upgrade your career at the same time.
On Thurs. Oct. 8, job-seekers will browse a mix of companies that are looking to hire immediately, as well as numerous training programs dedicated to training and then placing you in a new job in Northern Virginia. In some cases, an assessment test is all that is needed to qualify, and not all open positions/programs require a college degree.
Participants will be able to browse companies in the lobby, enter their booths, view open positions and training programs, and chat with HR representatives in real-time…all from the comfort of your home. You do not currently need to be located in Northern Virginia to attend the fair.
