Vermont Department of Labor Announces Statewide Spring Job Fest Series

Montpelier, VT – The Vermont Department of Labor (VDOL) is excited to announce a variety of spring job fairs taking place across the state during the months of April and May. Each job fair offers job seekers the opportunity to connect directly with local employers.  

These hiring events are free and open to the public. Employers interested in participating in a job fair should sign up at https://labor.vermont.gov/event-types/job-fairs.  

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Vermont has approximately 17,000 available jobs. No matter your skill set, there are opportunities for everyone, and the Vermont Department of Labor is committed to linking job seekers with employers. The Job Fest series is a great way to make connections and take the first step in the job search process. 

Individuals needing assistance with resume preparation, interview skills, or job search strategies are encouraged to visit their local Vermont Job Center ahead of time for one-on-one assistance. To find a local job center, go to https://labor.vermont.gov/locations.  

“Whether you’re entering the workforce for the first time, looking for a new opportunity, or exploring a career change, these events provide direct access to hiring managers and valuable job resources.
