TOPEKA – Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland encourages jobseekers and employers searching for available talent to take part in this month’s Virtual Statewide Job Fair, hosted by KANSASWORKS, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Thursday, November 19.
“Transitioning into a new career can open doors to unseen opportunities and career growth,” Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland said. “Our monthly job fairs help close the gap between proactive jobseekers and employers who are eager to recruit the talent that’s developing right here in Kansas.”
This month’s Virtual Statewide Job Fair portal features helpful information such as a jobseeker training video, a list of participating employers and channels for attendees to register and log in. Jobseekers are encouraged to dress professionally, as they might be asked to engage in an interview.
The virtual format allows anyone searching for a new job to fill out applications, chat live and interview virtually with participating employers.
Candidates can participate through any digital device. Any individual with a disability may request accommodation by contacting their nearest workforce center at (877) 509-6757 prior to the event. Registration is required to participate in virtual job fairs, regardless of previous participation.
