The BronxWorks Jobs Plus program will be hosting a special hiring event, dubbed “Celebration of Pride,” on Thursday, June 26, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the BronxWorks office, located at 550 E. 142nd St.
Dozens of companies will have representatives on hand in search of employees. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with affirming employers, explore inclusive job openings and look to build careers in a safe and welcoming environment.
In addition to looking for potential jobs, attendees will also have the chance to network with representatives of the businesses and take part in on-the-spot interviews.
“Part of our mission at BronxWorks is to support vulnerable communities, and this hiring event is an opportunity to support their efforts to find gainful employment with supportive organizations,” BronxWorks Chief Executive Officer Eileen Torres said. “We encourage everyone to join us for this important event and take advantage of a wonderful opportunity to network with potential employers, learn about career opportunities or even to get a new job–all while celebrating Pride.”
Those interested in going to the Celebration of Pride hiring event can RSVP for it here.
