Thousands of job seekers will meet face-to-face with more than 130 employers at the annual Spring Job Fair on Friday, March 24, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Las Vegas Convention Center West Hall. Clark County Commission Chairman Jim Gibson and Commissioner Tick Segerblom are hosting the free event designed to connect companies to new employees, in partnership with the EmployNV Business Hub. (See Fliers in English & Spanish.)
Job seekers can pre-register at https://bit.ly/2023SpringJobFair to receive VIP access to the Spring Job Fair. By pre-registering, job seekers will receive QR codes that can be scanned at the event for quicker check-in and be the first to know about available job positions, where to find no-cost resume and employment help, and other important information.
Job seekers interested in free childcare for potty-trained children ages 3 to 6 can sign up on the Spring Job Fair registration page in the “Frequently Asked Questions” section. Space is limited for this free resource, and advanced registration for the service is highly recommended. Walk-ins for childcare will only be considered on a first-come, first-serve basis, depending on the availability of space. Kids Quest will offer the no-cost childcare in room W101 of the West Hall. Children can be dropped off by a parent at 8 a.m. and must be picked up by 2 p.m. Light snacks will be provided. If parents expect to be at the job fair for more than two hours, please bring a sack lunch for your child.
“We know access to quality childcare can be a barrier when looking for a job which is why it was important to us to work with Kids Quest to offer this free service,” said Clark County Commission Chairman Jim Gibson.
"We hope that by providing childcare, thanks to Kids Quest, at this year’s Spring Job Fair, community members can take their time to speak one-on-one with employers,” said Clark County Commissioner Tick Segerblom. “We want everyone to have the chance to explore new job opportunities.”
More than 130 employers are now confirmed to participate in the Spring Job Fair representing various industries. Employers specifically requested more space for onsite interviews at this year’s Spring Job Fair. Multiple companies are expected to hire on the spot. This year, the Spring Job Fair will debut a “Virtual After Party” the following week, where employers can offer select candidates follow-up interviews using a free, easy-to-use virtual platform.
Job seekers should treat this opportunity as an interview, dress for success, and bring multiple copies of their resumes. Quick resume reviews and no-cost employment help will be available at the Spring Job Fair at a pop-up EmployNV Career Hub. Job fair attendees can also learn about options for ongoing childcare support.
Parking for the Spring Job Fair is free in adjacent lots, and the underground Vegas Loop at the Convention Center will be open for attendees to use at no cost. Job seekers should enter the job fair through the West Hall entrance toward the south side of the building. The Southern Nevada Health District will also offer free flu shots and COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters onsite.
Spring Job Fair attendees can email jobfair@snvwc.org with questions.
