Oakland County Michigan Works! Hosting 2 Job Fairs In April

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.”

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

“Both employers and job seekers are embracing the virtual job fairs, especially during COVID,” said Jennifer Llewellyn, director of Oakland County Michigan Works! “The overall feedback we’re receiving from employers and job seekers alike is the virtual experience is an effective way to meet people, share important information and arrange follow-up interviews with a candidate.”

The first virtual job fair will take place on April 14 and will feature two sessions:
