Chicago Southland Outdoor Job Fair & Hiring Event
Add to Calendar 10:00 AM 7/22/20212:00 PM America/Chicago Chicago Southland Outdoor Job Fair & Hiring Event
Due to the increasing workforce demand from employers, the SCICBI, OAI, and CSEDC are organizing an in-person hiring event on July 22 in Park Forest. It will be our first in-person event after the two virtual job fairs organized in April and May. The purpose of the in-person event is to give opportunities to ready-to-work attendees to meet with representatives from many employers and options to attendees who are not ready to work to explore the training programs. The event focuses on the manufacturing industry, transportation, distribution, logistics (TDL) industry, and the healthcare industry.  

So far, we have received over 250 job openings from over 30 companies. Major manufacturing employers who have committed to participate on-site and provide on-site interviews include Alpha Products, Avatar, Dot Foods, LB Steel, and Solvay. We also have many TDL job openings from YWCA. Amazon is also interested in participating on-site and we are finalizing details now. There are only entry-level jobs in healthcare, but for the manufacturing and TDL sector, the openings include entry-level positions, technical positions, as well as some management positions. The wage rates range from $14 per hour to $35.74 per hour. Job seekers, with a high school diploma, a bachelor's, or an associate's degree, can all find their matched job opportunities here.
