Plexus LGBT & Allied Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with the LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland, is proud to announce the upcoming LGBTQ+ Career & Resource Fair, scheduled for March 30.
This event aims to create a supportive and affirming space for LGBTQ+ jobseekers, connecting them with area employers and providing access to health and workforce development resources.
“Our work is to ensure Northeast Ohio is a welcoming place for the queer community. The LGBTQ+ Career & Resource Fair is a testament to our commitment to fostering inclusivity in the workforce and providing valuable resources for our community,” said Amanda Cole, Executive Director at Plexus LGBT & Allied Chamber of Commerce.
The LGBTQ+ Career & Resource Fair is a unique opportunity for employers to engage with diverse candidates while fostering an inclusive environment for LGBTQ+ job seekers to expand their professional network and enhance their career skills. The event will be held at the LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland, offering a safe and welcoming space for all attendees.
The intersection between financial stability and health is a critical balance, and job loss can exacerbate mental and physical burdens, leading to public health crises for individuals already facing disparities in healthcare access. Recognizing this challenge, Plexus LGBT & Allied Chamber of Commerce and the LGBT Center of Greater Cleveland are committed to addressing these issues through the LGBTQ+ Career & Resource Fair.
The event will feature:
- Networking Opportunities: LGBTQ+ jobseekers will have the chance to connect with a diverse range of employers who prioritize diversity and inclusion in their workplaces.
- Health and Workforce Development Resources: Attendees can access information and resources related to healthcare, mental health and workforce development, ensuring a holistic approach to career advancement.
- Career Training Sessions: Participants will have the opportunity to attend sessions focused on essential skills such as interviewing techniques, building confidence, public speaking and resume development. These sessions aim to address underlying barriers to accessing the labor market.
By organizing this career fair, Plexus LGBT & Allied Chamber of Commerce and the LGBT Center of Greater Cleveland aim to create a positive impact on the LGBTQ+ community, empowering individuals to approach the job market with confidence and providing them with the tools they need to thrive in their careers. 🔥
