To participate in the Statewide Virtual Job Fair on September 4, 2024, employers and job seekers will need to register for the event.

Attending the Statewide Virtual Job Fairs hosted by WorkForce West Virginia offers unparalleled convenience, allowing employers to seamlessly connect with job seekers.

Job seekers who attend the event are advised to have a clutter-free background and to dress professionally. The job fair portal will include a list of participating employers, channels for attendees to register and log in, and a Job Seeker Training video.

Once employers register for the event for the first time, they will be able to create a “Virtual Booth” that will let them connect with job seekers. Once the booth is created, the booth will be available at following job fairs.
