October 22nd was the People of Color Career Fair, The Premier Networking and Hiring Experience for Professionals of Color in the Twin Cities!  “As we recap the 2024 People of Color Career Fair, I’m reminded how crucial representation is in every step of the job search and hiring process. At LatinoLEAD, we are proud to partner in creating spaces where Latine professionals see themselves reflected and valued. Representation doesn’t just inspire; it opens doors to equitable opportunities, ensuring that our community’s talent, voices, and contributions are fully recognized. Together, we’re strengthening the workforce and advancing a vision where everyone belongs and thrives.” – Karen Velez Barron, LatinoLEAD COO Our CEO, Irma Márquez Trapero, and Sharon Smith-Akinsanya, CEO of the Rae Mackenzie Group, Inc. held a fireside chat where they shared the importance of Diversity across the board. Diversity is not only about entry-level representation; it's about ensuring that professionals of color have access to all levels of an organization, including senior leadership and decision-making roles. More partnerships like LatinoLEAD and the People of Color Career Fair ensure that diversity is institutionalized throughout organizations, creating a pipeline for advancement. This results in more professionals of color serving as managers, directors, executives, and board members, which has a cascading effect on organizational culture, decision-making, and strategy. #WeAreLatinoLEAD #Somos LatinoLEAD #PeopleOfColorCareerFair #MinneapolisEvent #Networking #WorkforceDevelopment #Diversity #Inclusion

Skills for Rhode Island's Future is committed to supporting jobseekers from all walks of life in their search for meaningful employment. We do our best work when we partner with others, whether we collaborate with other community organizations or across teams within our own!   Last Thursday, May 2nd, our Client Services, Talent Acquisition, Career Services, RI Small Business HUB, and workABILITY teams participated in a multi-employer Veteran's Job Fair at Community College of Rhode Island's Knight Campus in Warwick, hosted by The Providence VA VBA Regional Office, Veteran Readiness & Employment (VRE) Division, CCRI Student Veterans, and the Rhode Island Department of Labor & Training. The event connected veterans and others with career opportunities and resources, and our SkillsRI teams personally met with over 30 jobseekers and almost every employer in attendance!   Events like these are essential for informing and supporting those who may have barriers to employment, like Rhode Island's veteran population, and you never know where or when any given team member may lend specialized support or connect for an opportunity for work outside of their typical purview. Bill Harold, Supported Employment Coordinator for workABILITY, spotted and caught up with DATTCO, INC, a transportation company that attended the event looking to recruit new hires.  DATTCO recently partnered with and successfully hired a workABILITY candidate for a role as a School Bus Monitor/Aide, so Bill took the opportunity to explore ways to collaborate further by introducing DATTCO's hiring team to members of SkillsRI's Client Services team for additional sourcing and roles.   #SkillsRI and #workABILITY thank all of our community partners, employer partners, and the sponsors of this event for their support in providing resources to the veteran community and so many others! It often takes only one person or one effort to make a difference in the lives of others, so together, we should expect the impact of our work will be far greater! If you're an employer seeking talent, contact the workABILITY team to join our mission of providing equal opportunities for all!

CareerCircle this is a question I have for all virtual career fairs and career fairs in general. Where is the list of companies that will be attending the event? From a user flow, you would think clicking on "Get more info" as we have given you all of our information would allow us to see a list of companies. All we are able to see is the companies between the two flyers you have provided. The one's on your website and the repost image: CVS Health, University of Maryland Global Campus, TEKsystems, GSK, Daikin Comfort, Comcast, Lincoln Financial Group, Actalent and Leidos. Maybe I am expecting this list too soon, however, as of this post it is 5 days before the fair and it would be nice if the candidates would be allow to do research on the companies that would be there to prepare custom resumes and cover letters if the companies have a slot open for are career interest. Please let myself and the individuals in my network who may read this post know where we can locate a full list of companies that will be at your career fair this Thursday for your #womenintech theme career fair.
