Let's Fill Those Vacancies: Youth
Job Fair at MV Community Center – March 29, 3:30-7pm

There's been a ton of discussion in Mill Valley and across the country in recent years about how hard it has been for businesses to bring back their employees and hire new ones. Despite an unemployment rate of just above 2% here, the job boards for the 94941 are loaded with postings, primarily for service industry jobs, spanning grocery store, cafe and retail clerks to salon, pet care and real estate office receptionists. As with most issues, the real reasons employers are struggling to fill openings are complex. This allows job seekers to get a sense of the available opportunities before they arrive on site. Submit your specific job openings whether or not you intend to be an exhibitor at the event itself?. The Youth Job Fair gives employers the ability to get a sense of the available opportunities before they arrive on site! MORE INFO.
