Representatives from utility companies, healthcare providers, and county agencies are set to staff booths alongside small-business owners and service nonprofits. Attendees can explore part-time, full-time, and contract opportunities.
While the focus is on matching employers and applicants, the job fair also doubles as a community gathering. Local food vendors and family activities will ensure a welcoming atmosphere for first-time job seekers, multilingual residents, and youth exploring career paths.
Businesses interested in sponsorship—such as hosting a workshop or donating swag—are also invited to reach out via the foundation’s website.
Efforts like this reflect a growing trend across Southern California, where community foundations and health nonprofits collaborate to address unemployment, skills gaps, and economic recovery at the neighborhood level.
By aligning workforce development with public-health outreach, organizers hope to foster long-term relationships between employers and employees, while boosting regional economic resilience.
Whether you’re a seasoned professional or exploring new fields, the June 16 event offers a no-cost chance to make connections that could lead to your next role. Bring your questions, bring your resumes—and be ready to build something stronger together.
