Niagara County to hold outdoor career fair in City of Lockport

The Niagara County Department of Employment and Training will hold an outdoor career fair for those seeking employment on Wednesday, Aug. 10, at Ida Fritz Park. More than 50 companies with open positions have signed up to take part.

“Last year’s career fair at Ida Fritz Park was very well attended by both employers and job seekers, and I’m glad to see the county has continued with these outdoor events,” Niagara County Legislator Rick Abbott said. “It is still a tight labor market and there is a broad spectrum of job openings so, whether you looking to get into the workforce or seeking a change from your current career, it is well worth attending.” 

Director of Employment and Training Donald Jablonksi said the event will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 105 West Ave., in the City of Lockport. The rain date is Aug. 17. Representatives will be located throughout the small park area to display information on their companies, and meet with job seekers. No appointment is necessary. 

“Our department receives calls every day from employers looking for workers to fill a host of positions,” Jablonksi said. “Anyone looking for a job, regardless of skill and educational level, should attend this event. Plus, our WorkSource1 team will be present to provide job seekers with servicers like resume writing and interview prep, so they have the support they need as they conduct their job search.”
