Attention all job seekers: a vital chance to network with potential employers is coming up.
CareerSource Broward and multiple Chambers of Commerce will host the first-ever “State of the Workforce” event on Wednesday, January 24, at the Broward County Convention Center from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The event will feature multiple chances for attendees to mingle with prospective employers, including a Business Breakfast, an Employer Marketplace, and a comprehensive Job Fair, all designed to connect companies and job seekers with resources, technology, and opportunities for growth.
The event is a collaborative effort by CSBD and Chambers of Commerce from Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach, and Tamarac North Lauderdale to address labor trends and technological impacts, particularly in the realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI), on the Broward economy.
“This event has brought companies all over the County to participate. Help with resumes and free headshots,” Peter Mason, Tamarac, and Lauderhill Chamber Executive Director tells Tamarac Talk, adding, “Over 1,300 have already registered, so make sure to RSVP to avoid long lines.”
