Philadelphia Job and Resource Fair

This Thursday, October 4th, there will be a Philadelphia job & resource fair at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. At the Philadelphia job & resource fair. To register for the fair, click on the link and share it amongst your family & friends!

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hire-philly-job-and-resource-fair-tickets-50009722426

#hirephilly #starbucks #careerwardrobe #morethancloth

You’ll get the opportunity to create your resume on-site, complete a job application, practice your interview skills with experts, and so much more! Participants will get connected to much-needed resources, such as information about job training programs.

If we want to tackle Philadelphia’s staggering 26% poverty rate, the federal minimum wage — $7.25/hour — needs to change, residents must be equipped with more in-demand skills and companies need to continue hiring individuals from the community.

Although poverty won’t diminish overnight, the job fair in Philadelphia is just one of the many tools in our toolbox that will help to lift people out of poverty throughout the city.
