ST. LOUIS — Plan to meet virtually with employers at an entry-level job fair planned for this week. Or attend the Urban Expo Job Fair and Transformation Expo.
Urban League sponsors Urban Expo Back-to-School Fair and Career Fair Aug. 3 -6
The summer event attracts over 27,000 residents and offers book bags, shoes, and school supplies to youth. SLPS officials will be onsite to assist with transportation, enrollment, and other school-related questions and concerns.
The festival includes over 350 partners. non-profit and civic organizations provide information about topics such as housing, jobs, public safety and education; as well as social services including health screenings, utility assistance and financial literacy.
The Expo Career Fair is 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 4 and will feature more than 60 companies. Bring plenty of resumes and wear business attire for the event. Supportive services will be available.
The Fair is sponsored by the Regional Business Council, Urban League SOS program, stl.works and Missouri Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development. Onsite hiring and job placement opportunities are available to qualified attendees.
The Urban Expo will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 5. Booths include two chairs, a skirted table, signage for the participating company’s name and more.
Volunteers are needed to help the four-day educational and entertainment expo run smoothly.
“Without volunteers, the Expo would be far more limited in what it can do for our community,” said Michael McMillian, Urban League president and CEO.
All attendees are required to visit all the resource booths before receiving free items. Festival highlights include health screenings, social and senior services opportunities, haircuts, live entertainment and free food.
