Provide a list of employer events and services at every booth to promote your Job Center. Post job seeker events and services near the entrance or provide a flyer at the registration table. Register everyone who participates with name, phone number and address, to add to your mailing list. Encourage businesses to offer tours of their facilities to job seekers. This initiative will also help make the Job Center connection to the classroom and the classroom to work.
Students can greet participants and hand out materials.
Schedule them for one-hour shifts. Students can also photocopy applications and resumes for job seekers to free up Job Center staff for other work. Evaluate the Job Fair using comment cards, surveys or evaluation forms. Ask employers, job seekers and others that participated for feedback about the event location, date, day of the week, time, number of applicants interviewed, how many were hired. Review what worked well and adjust plans for future events.
