Job Fair In Marlborough Will Focus On Local Hospitality Industry

MARLBOROUGH, MA — Local residents interested in working in the hospitality industry in the Marlborough area will have a chance to talk to meet employers at a job fair this week.

The Thursday event is a collaboration between MassHire, the Marlborough Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Marlborough Economic Development Corp., and will come before an important September unemployment deadline.

On Sept. 6, several pandemic-era unemployment programs that provided extra benefits to people who lost jobs will end. Some of those programs include an unemployment program for freelance, part-time and gig workers, and the $300 weekly boost to unemployment payments.

MassHire held two other similar job fairs in Natick and Norwood this week. The Marlborough fair will run from 2 to 5 p.m. on Thursday at the Holiday Inn & Suites, 265 Lakeside Ave. The fair is open to everyone, but will generally feature employers from the Marlborough chamber's coverage area, which also includes Sudbury, Hudson, Berlin, Northborough and Southborough.
