Please Note: In-person hiring events have been cancelled until further notice. We are still offering virtual events to connect you with job seekers!
- Virtual Job Fairs feature multiple employers just like a traditional job fair, but we schedule 15 minute phone calls for you and interested job seekers. The Virtual Job Fairs will occur the third Wednesday of each month in 2022 (except where noted on the schedule below). Learn more.
SCHEDULE OR REGISTER FOR A HIRING EVENT
The first step to developing a strong, skilled and educated workforce is finding the right talent for the job. Hiring events are held at Michigan Works! Service Centers. Interview space, copy machines, fax machine, telephone and computer access are available free of charge.

The Second Chance Job Fair features employers who are “parolee-friendly.” Parolee-friendly employers consider many factors when making hiring choices—not only skills and qualifications but the type of conviction and job duties/responsibilities.
