BrandGOV’s Empower Solano Hiring Fair coming May 17

Local company BrandGOV and its community organization, Empower Solano, are working with the county to plan a unique event for job seekers, the 2023 Empower Solano Hiring Fair on May 17.

“We want anyone who walks through the doors at the fair to know that there’s a job opportunity there for them,” says K. Patrice Williams, BrandGOV’s CEO and executive director for Empower Solano in a news release.  “We are placing special emphasis on applicants who may not have worked for a while or who have had some involvement with the justice system.”

Special services and outreach will be provided for those whose work history or background make it more difficult to find a job, including those who have been incarcerated or otherwise involved with the justice system. The event will take place on Wednesday, May 17, from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Workforce Development Board of Solano County office, at 500 Chadbourne Road, Fairfield. Admission is free.

Employers participating include Home Depot, Xfinity, Ole Health, Star Staffing and Goodwill Industries. Companies will conduct interviews with applicants at the event and lunch will be provided. Organizers are also working with residents of transient housing and shelters to provide transportation to and from the fair.

On Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and online seminar titled “Ready Set job! Solano County’s Ultimate Job Readiness Workshop” will be offered before the fair for anyone wanting to brush up on their job-hunting skills. Participants will be able to speak live via zoom with experts on such topics as how to do your best during an interview; how to research companies; questions to ask potential employers; and how to stand-out as a job applicant.

Pre-registration is required. Sign-up at www.empowersolano.org/Ready-Set-Job.  Anyone can attend the workshop; you do not have to be a fair attendee.
