The Fair, which will be held from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm at the Oregon Convention Center - is free, and focused on jobs and resources for 16 to 24 year olds. It will feature 50 Portland-area employers, and more than 20 of these employers will be interviewing and making job offers on site.
Some of the employers include:
· Alaska Airlines
· Applied Materials
· Columbia Sportswear
· FedEx
· Legacy Health
· OnPoint Credit Union
· Timberline Lodge
Because so many young people in our community face significant barriers to employment, there will also be a number of resources intended to reduce these barriers, both on the day of the Fair and as the job seekers begin their work. Some of these resources include:
· Criminal record expungement and immigration screenings
· Job-related dress
· On-site childcare
· Practice interviews and resume review
· Free food service cards for service industry applicants
· Booths from culturally-specific community partners
