Looking for a job? OESC career fair coming up May 17-18

As part of a series of career fairs across the state, the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission is holding an in-person event at the Oklahoma City Convention Center May 17 and 18, as well as a virtual option from May 5- 28. Registration fees for participating employers will be waived due to the use of CARES Act funds. Attendee registration is now open and can be found here.

An online portal is also available for employers to post open positions, schedule interviews and network with attendees. Designated interview areas will be available for on-site participants at each event.

“Providing Oklahomans with the resources they need to re-enter the workforce is a top priority for the state of Oklahoma and OESC,” said Shelley Zumwalt, Executive Director of OESC. “As the economy continues to improve, we believe that now is the right time to help employers connect with Oklahomans seeking to find employment opportunities. We know it’s been a difficult year for businesses, and we’re hopeful that waiving registration fees will make the events more accessible for employers across a broad range of industries.”

The in-person career fairs will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Veterans will have the opportunity to begin participating early - from 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. - at each in-person event.  Any claimant that attends a career fair does fulfill their work search requirement. Register here.

OESC encourages businesses to reserve their spots soon as capacity will be limited. Employers may register for one or more of the upcoming career fairs at http://regpack.com/reg/OESC.

“We can’t have a strong economy without building a strong workforce,” said Jennifer Grigsby, Secretary of Economic Administration. “The state of Oklahoma remains committed to serving both job seekers and employers in search of opportunities. The CARES Act funding our state receives is intended to be used for the benefit of Oklahomans, and we’re proud to help facilitate these events to help Oklahomans find work after a very challenging year.”
