Avondale Edge and Career Connectors are hosting an in-person hiring expo on Wednesday, February 22, 2023 to support local businesses in Avondale with their 2023 hiring needs. The event, which is free for both employers and job candidates, will take place at the Avondale Visitor & Conference Center located at 11490 Civic Center Dr. Avondale, AZ 85323 from 11:00 a.m.– 2:00 p.m.
Job seekers can register for free at this link: https://app.careerconnectors.org/avondale and will have the opportunity to meet and network with employers from multiple industries located in Avondale currently hiring for hundreds of open positions. High school juniors and seniors will also be in attendance from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. to discuss job openings, internships, apprenticeships, and future career pathway opportunities.
According to Ken Chapa, Avondale’s Economic and Tourism Director, "It is an exciting time for those entering or re-entering the workforce, looking for a new opportunity, or considering a career change. Avondale businesses are offering quality entry-level to advanced positions and we encourage our local talent to live, work and grow right here in the Southwest Valley."
This expo is the first in a series of career and hiring expos that will be hosted by Avondale EDGE in the coming year of 2023. Funded through the American Rescue Plan Act, the city will support growing industries such as healthcare, information technology, manufacturing, and logistics by matching qualified job candidates with local open positions.
Jessica Pierce, Founder/CEO of Career Connectors said, "City of Avondale and Career Connectors share a mission to connect residents with the right opportunities and assist companies in identifying the ideal candidates for their open positions. This creates stronger, more sustainable communities. With the continued business expansion in Arizona, partnering complementary resources to increase capacity and provide a comprehensive career track is critical. In partnership, we can meet escalating workforce needs of the Greater Avondale business market. This Career Expo is part of the solution!"
