Oakland County Michigan Works! Hosting 2 Job Fairs In April

The two upcoming job fairs are free, but those interested in taking part in the events are required to register in advance.

OAKLAND COUNTY, MI — Oakland County Michigan Works! is hosting two virtual job fairs in April, the county announced in a news release this week.

The Oakland County Michigan Works! branch has been hosting virtual job fairs throughout the coronavirus pandemic, with one in September 2020 and a second in January. The two events drew 70 employers and more than 1,000 participants, the county said.

“Our economic rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic rests on getting as many people back to work as possible,” Oakland County Executive David Coulter said. “Many are returning to their previous jobs but, for those who want to pursue new career opportunities, these large job fairs present a wide range of opportunities. And the virtual format allows employers and job seekers to meet one-on-one in a safe environment.”
