Connect With Job Seekers at the People of Color Career Fair
The League of Minnesota Cities is inviting city staff to join its booth at the People of Color Career Fair to recruit talent and share the benefits of working for a city.
The League of Minnesota Cities is inviting member cities to participate in the People of Color Career Fair on Tuesday, Oct. 13, at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Cities can staff a spot in the League’s booth at no cost, giving your staff an opportunity to meet job seekers and share what makes a career in city government rewarding.
The People of Color Career Fair attracts a diverse pool of talent, from recent college graduates, mid-career professionals, and seasoned candidates looking for their next opportunity. By participating, your city can connect with candidates face-to-face, promote open positions, and introduce job seekers to the variety of career paths available in local government.
Represent your city
Each participating city may send one representative for the full day or split the day between two staff members, with one representative in the booth at a time. Priority will be given to cities that have not participated previously.
The League aims to include representatives from a variety of departments, including human resources, communications, finance, parks and recreation, public works, and public safety. Having different areas of city government represented helps job seekers learn about the breadth of opportunities available and have more meaningful conversations about specific career paths.
Reserve your city’s spot
If your city is interested in sending a staff member to join the League’s booth, contact LMC Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Coordinator Arianna Lee ([email protected]) to reserve your spot.
