More than 400 job seekers attended the South/West/Harbor Connect-LA Job Fair in early March 2023 at the Harbor Occupational Center.
Upwards of 70 employers attended in search of qualified candidates to fill more than 2,500 jobs. The job fair offered on-site interviews for opportunities in various industries, including education, government, health care, hospitality, maritime, and transportation.
Councilmember Tim McOsker (CD 15) delivered opening remarks and encouraged attendees to consider careers at the City of Los Angeles. “It is so important for us to connect people to jobs and connect people to opportunities to connect people to careers.”
Representatives from the EWDD’s WorkSource, YouthSource and BusinessSource Centers were on hand, representing centers from the Harbor, West and South LA. EWDD General Manager Carolyn Hull also provided remarks. The quarterly Connect-LA resource fair is part of a larger effort to bring together regional partners in order to provide more opportunities for job seekers, youth and small businesses in the City of LA.
